6/10 Okay

The only complaint would be the mold on ceiling above the tub.
Charles, 1-night trip

4/10 Poor

Tired hotel inside, pretty sure someones given up on landscaping outside. Rates jacked WAY up because of high demand for a NASCAR race. Mold on bathroom ceiling, tv remote didnt work, weird smell in hallway. Assigned room torn up w a contractor working in it so was put in a different room. Smoking station is 3' from the front door.
Kim, 1-night trip

2/10 Terrible

Urine in the stairwell. Dust in the corner of every room
Ryan, 9-night trip

6/10 Okay

Walking into the room it smelled very bad, mixture of cigarette smell and other smells. And clean the filters in the air conditioning unit and smell eventually went away. AC unit must not have been draining properly room got extremely humid during the night. Made for an uncomfortable sleep. Other than those two things nice place to stay would probably stay again.
