Don't stay here, over priced for this place

The lobby was clean. After getting off the elevator to go to my room was shocking, the hallway carpet is so old and dirty it's taped together with duct tape. The hallway door to the rooms were all beat up, holes in them and taped over. I almost left immediately. I got to my room, there was a lot of surface damage and just shabby. The beds were clean, the bathroom was mostly clean. Wood floors in the room, that was a good thing. I sprayed Lysol everywhere. The room above had a lot of banging and noise throughout the night. I do believe there are residents living there. I had an early morning place to be at, so I stayed. I had a long day and stayed the 2nd night, I was too tired to care. But the next morning I was just done. I had to check out one day early. This is an old hotel and needs to be updated. Had I known in advance, a nicer hotel was only about $20 higher.

Do not stay here.

It took 40 minutes to check in because only one person wqa at the desk. She was the only good thing in this hotel. Her service was phenomenal. One of the elevators was broken. The air conditioning was broken in my room and it stayed 80 degrees. Thebshower rod was falling off, so i had to hold the curton closed or else water went everywhere. The bed was so uncomfortable that my backstarted hurting, and i was struggling to get around town. The ice machine was also broken on my floor. The breakfast was subpar. This stay was so bad that i left after the first two nights and checked into another hotel. So disappointing and was not worth the cost.

My husband and I went to check in at 4pm. The night before I realized that I had used the wrong card when booking and I couldn’t update my card. It was a pay at the property option so I figured I could switch the cards once check in took place. When we got there the hotel clerk already had a chip on her shoulder and was rude from the beginning. She asked for credit card and id. I gave her the card I wanted to use and explained that I needed the room on this card and the incidentals on this card to which she responded with that makes it complicated but continued on. She got a puzzled look on her face and I had asked if there was a problem to which she responded with it didn’t go thru. My husband said just go ahead and put everything in this card it’s fine. We get the keys and head to my car and something prompted me to look at my bank accounts only to discover that she double charged both accounts. We went right back in to ask what had happened. I showed her both charges. She said that they will drop off in 24-48 hours and I said no I don’t think you understand you have not only charged this card but you charged my original card on the booking. They will drop off. No ma’am you have charged two different accounts and now it has overdrawn my account. I asked who do I contact if they both hard post? She said that once they

Solo travelled and it was very safe. Old hotel but great location (4 min. drive/15 min. walk to Idaho Central Arena and downtown). Wi-Fi was consistent. Sink hot water didn't work but there were two sinks so I just used the other sink. The balcony door had a makeshift lock. Front and cleaning staff were very friendly. Old rooms but great location and a great price.
