Provided by YP.comWe purchased a room for the night over priceline.com. It was rated as a 3 stars ... and had boasted a grand tub in each room. this rating needs serious review. This is a "Roach Motel" if I ever saw one. We tried hard to like it, but this place is just run down and staff is not at all nice. They pictured showed a great tub in every room which was NOT the case. They couldn't even take a credit card and insisted on cash.
They has a little pub on site. I thought this would offer some fun for me and the Mrs., as we could have a drink without having to drive. First off they charged us $20 cover to get because they had a live band. Steep I thought for paying customers the room cost me $80 but whatever we didn't have to drive so we could both drink. The band was horrible (I jokingly call them Old Farts with a Kazoo). It was a few old men with instruments butchering 50 and 60's songs, . We ordered a round of Drinks feeling bit foolish for paying a cover charge for this. The drinks were $10 each so now we are $40 in and got 1 drink each, and ... the drinks we the worst I have ever had! This bartender can't possibly be trained. THEY COULDN'T EVEN MAKE A MARGARITA. The bar was a dive. We were done spending money and decide dto go back to room ... tired and feeling ripped off.
We walk back and begin noticing snotty messages from the staff written on EVERYTHING!
The soda machine: Be careful not to spill while popping open soda cans! Full page note written in sharpie. The Pools pad locked so we cant even use it and messages all over it threatening to kick us out if we invite any guests. This offered a vibe of non-friendly and non forgiving staff.
Cement work all cracked, crumbling. Paint Old and pealing. Ice machines leaking all over the place. Stained furniture in lobby looked like urine. The work out room locked up and laundry sitting on the work out machines with more management (or lack there of) messages in sharpie telling people not to move them. Paint all chipped and falling off. This is the campus that time forgot.
The Room was disgusting, My wife ran to the bathroom to see the great tube she was promised and found a normal tub with short curly hairs in it. The room smelled of mold. The bed clothes smelled dirty. My wife tried to clean the tub and take a bath but there was white floating film on the water. Having been on the road for hours and to tired to fish we decided to go to bed. We were bit up by bugs during the night. My wife is right now taking an Epson salt bath to scrub the nasty off. She woke at 4 in the morning wanting to leave.
When we went to check out, the front desk attendant was smoking at front door yapping on a cell phone...this would not of bothered me if She would have stepped to the side...instead she blocked the door till very last second.
We left angry and disgusted.
