The property is undergoing renovation's and smells of paint can be strong and Hallways turned into obstacle courses at times! Walls are very thin and can hear conversations in hallway. Also, no longer offer breakfast despite listing this. The key machine was broken and so had to wait around to find the one front desk person to open room every time which was frustrating. Staff overall were pleasant and helpful. Room was clean but lamp didn’t work, batteries dead in TV remote, no phone and overhead lights way to bright would do better with a dimmer. Also no privacy curtain and so either curtain open or shut and all rooms on ground floor so people walking by all the time in outside parking .

This place should be condemn! The rooms were disgusting. The floors were gross through the whole place. I think it was ran by a bunch of meth smokers. I would even let a dog stay there. I highly recommend not even think of going there. We did stay there.

I did not end up staying at this property and decided to accept that they would charge me for the room anyway. When I arrived after a 4.5 hour drive, I noticed that the facility appeared to be a little rundown, but I was going to accept it for the night. However, after entering the parking lot, I noticed a couch sitting in the parking lot and one room window boarded up. Me and my child went into the waiting area which smelled bad, to check-in, and while waiting, my child went to the restroom. He came out of the restroom saying it was nasty in there and had urine everywhere. We decided we did not want to see any more of the property and went somewhere else for the night.

It was horrible, smelly, unclean, not safe, and too many pets in the hotel. Smelled like smoke and urine. Staff were loud and yelling at each other in the lobby. Someone pulled the fire alarm and made everyone wait outside. The door to the room didnt lock, the lights didnt work, the beds and room were dirty and the smell was so bad it made my eyes water. Someone in the lobby asked for soap and the staff said they didnt have any. I made it to my room and within 10 minutes made it back to the lobby because it was so bad i could not stay there. They claimed they could not issue a refund because i didnt give a 24 hour notice. I spent 140$ on a room that was not even worth $5. Dont stay here unless you want to choke from smoke inhalation.

There was dried vomit on the carpet beside the desk. No towels or toilet paper in the room. There was a dirty rag draped over the shower curtain. We went to check out immediately. The front desk was on the phone with the manager. The manager said as long as we did not write a bad review they would fully refund us. The manager then refused the refund when Expedia contacted them. Absolutely disgusted with the room and the manager.

The staff were very friendly and courteous, but the room was not good. The beds were not comfortable. There were lights and outlets that didn’t work. It is also very dated. It’s a strictly not smoking hotel but the hallways stunk of cigarette smoke.

Staff was accommodating and put our two rooms close together as requested. Other than that, it was the worst place ever! Strong smell of weed in the hall when we got back at 10:30 pm. Could see through the gap around the door into the adjoining room. Heater fan made terrible noise. No screen on window. Needed to open window to get rid of smell. Bathroom floor very dirty, freezing cold and light shining from under the bathtub. TV was the size of a computer monitor. Mattress was sunken in the middle so we rolled to center. Fire alarm went off at 5 am! No explanation other than, "that's happened before". Breakfast included was a joke. Fire trucks were there 3 times between 5 am and noon. Requested refund and was granted, but when I got home I found my credit card was charged twice, two different amounts. I have the receipt for credit to my account, but refund doesn't show up on my statement? Phone call pending.
