Ask the right questions
I did not even stay here. He wanted to charge me $10 extra for a 3rd person and danced around the question of me seeing the room before paying. Did he charge the homeless for sitting on the property?

Satisfaisant.
A l'arrivée, parfait. Belle chambre propre et des doses de café pour 3 jours, durée de notre séjour. Chambre entièrement rénovée avec appareils récents. Le lendemain de notre arrivée, un individu irrespectueux a mis de la boue dans les escaliers et sur le passage de notre chambre. Nous avons été surpris que cela ne soit pas nettoyé. Par ailleurs, aucun passage de la femme de ménage pendant le séjour. Poublles pleines à ras bord et serviettes jamais changées. Malgré tout, nous sommes satisfaits de notre halte dans cet établissement.

Check in was very quick & easy. The clerk was very nice. The building is older, but remodeled recently & the room was clean & comfortable. The only con is the bathtub needs to be redone & the faucet handle could not be reached while sitting in the tub.

Our room was in good condition with a microwave and fridge/ freezer. It was a reasonable price without breakfast although reception sell a few drinks and chocolate snacks. Unfortunately I did found a long dark hair in the bed maybe from the house keeping team making the bed so I just removed it. Maybe more care of this but the room was very clean otherwise. Free Parking felt safe. The pool hasn’t been used for a long time so would be good if this was in use again in the future. Would def stay again. Reception staff were friendly.

Rooms were nice but the amount of spider webs and bugs was just ridiculous. Upon entering the room it smelled horrible and there was so many webs in the corners and near the a/c. My daughter dropped something by the bed and when she went don’t to get it she noticed a huge amount of webs under the bed and dead bugs in the webs. We had so many dead crickets and spiders on the walls. The pool was not working and was dirty as well. When we arrived the person in front desk couldn’t understand nothing we were trying to tell him. Just overall a bad experience.
