If there was an option to leave 0 stars, I would. I should have listened to the negative reviews on here. I have NEVER stayed in such a filthy, uncomfortable place in my life and nobody in our party got any sleep because we felt unsafe and concerned for our health. We ended up staying the first night because it was too far to drive back home, but we did not stay on the second night that we paid for.
When we first arrived, it was about 4:15, check-in time is 4:00. The housekeeper was still cleaning, and the door was open so we waited around for maybe 10/15 minutes to enter but she was very nice about it. Then when we used the lockbox, the key itself stuck in the door lock and we couldn’t get it open at first. BUT of course, the office closes at 4 PM so at/after check-in time there’s nobody to help you. Thankfully with some shoving and pushing through the obviously broken lock and door handle, we were able to get it open.
That’s just the beginning. The door had a bunch of marks where it looked like it had been smashed in, so it didn’t feel very safe. Then we walked inside and immediately noticed the tv is hanging at a strange angle from the wall mount, the sofa is NOTHING like the photo and is incredibly stained and nasty looking. We wouldn’t even sit on it without putting towels down. The walls were filthy, there were spiderwebs all over in the corners and along the higher part of the walls, and a few spiders that we did see.
There was mold in the bathroom-very obvious, very gross mold along the edges around the shower, and urine stains on the floor. The beds looked okay at first although based on everything else we wondered if anything was safe/clean. Then we started to notice a few other things-the lights were flickering oddly at times, and not only did the sofa look nothing like the photos but everything else was a little off-no carpet in the bedrooms like in the photos, etc. Also the walls were filthy all over and the floor and walls were uneven at certain points-I understand if the place is old but it felt unsafe and unhygienic all around.
At this point it was too late for us to drive back to my sister’s house in Salem so we decided we would stay the night. We went to get some food and came back to cook dinner, only to find that the dishes in the cupboard were also dirty, so we had to thoroughly wash them before we could even use them (eventually we went back to the store to get disposable cups and bowls and utensils because we were grossed out).
Then we tried to go to bed. I (an adult male) tried to sleep on the top bunk of the bunk beds, but they creaked so loudly we thought it might collapse. It should state in the ad that these are FLIMSY beds and can only be occupied by smaller adults or children, not a regular sized adult. It was very late at night, but we had to swap out and have my nephew take the top bunk instead and I went to open the sofa bed (which we didn’t want to use because the sofa looked so dirty and gross). Upon opening the sofa bed, the sheet inside of it had sand, dirt, stains, and NAIL CLIPPINGS inside it. Right on the surface-so there was no way in hell I was going to sleep on it. Thankfully we had brought a camping cot, so I had to set that up and sleep on the floor.
Needless to say after all of that we decided to get the hell out as early as we could the next morning (we were all too anxious and uncomfortable to sleep). We didn't even shower-nobody wanted to use the bathroom at all if it could be avoided. We did not use the second night even though we paid for it. I can’t believe that this is even available to book, much less that there are some positive reviews for this place. I did see negative reviews when booking, but they were mixed enough that I hoped it would at least be tolerable. I am not a snob, but we were seriously concerned for our health and safety. Avoid this place-do not book it.
