At 10:15 when we tried to check in we were told that there was no WiFi or Television. It would have been nice to be notified earlier in the day.

Adequate place to stay for a quick weekend or trip

Really needs a general update (paint, new carpet). Breakfast was typical budget hot breakfast. There is no elevator and the hallways are quite long. Room was comfy, but we were on the highway side and it could get loud once in awhile. On the bright side there was easy access to anywhere we needed to go in town.

The hotel did not have an elevator. It was clean but could use some updating. The breakfast was only sub par. At one time, 4 members of the cleaning staff were having a heated discussion in the hallway which was not very professional.

Dirty.

We walked in the room and it was 80 degrees and so humid. It smelt musty. The floors were slick from the humidity and heat. We had to dry them off. There was a clog in the shower so the tub didn’t drain. The door had dirt and stuff all over it. The carpet was torn from the hallway to the door.

There was a power outage most of the time we were there and nobody was communicating anything about it. We had three kids with us and no tv, air conditioning or refrigerator due to said power outage and nobody seemed to care about that fact at all.
