Its obviously under construction. Holes in the walls where there used to be picture hangers. Paint was partially paint and partially primer. We found a razor blade on top of our a/c unit. There was a nasty smell in the room which I think was probably flooring adhesive as the flooring was new. The bathroom was clean but badly outdated/institutional. So that's the worst stuff. Good stuff was that the beds were probably new memory foam and weren't too bad once you were in them and the sheets were clean. Staff was friendly and helpful. I can't speak on the breakfast because I never saw it. The tables were still wrapped in plastic so I dont know if they served breakfast.

The bad - During check in was told there would be no breakfast, new owners and remodeling was going to happen, no big deal for us, as we would be going to Daughters place for breakfast anyway. When we tried to enter our room card did not work, after numerous attempts we notified personnel. After numerous attempts by hotel management making a new card, battery was replaced which didn't work either. The good - we were then moved into a King bed room, a lot nicer room for the money, an awesome upgrade, management really made an effort to please us. Will stay there again and can't wait to see the upgrades they will be making.

Too expensive for what you get

This hotel would be less than $50/night anywhere else, but they take full advantage of being 1 of 2 hotels in the area by jacking up the price. (The other hotel is just as expensive and just as bad.)

Not bad for one night

Other than having long discussion about my service dog ( no payment for service dogs, they should know that you CANNOT ASK QUESTIONS ABOUT SERVICE DOG - PERIOD ! ), front desk was friendly. Breakfast ? Well, I do like donuts but that was the only thing they offered for breakfast. Not counting cereal :) Otherwise room was clean, smell nice, comfy bed. Water in bathroom sink run rusty so they should check the pipes.

Stayed 1 night and it is fine for that. Any longer and I'd choose the other hotel in town. The rooms are dated. They are clean, but may not feel that way. The TVs are tiny and the remotes not very easy to work. No snacks or drinks at the front desk and the vending machines only take cash. The shower was good. The beds were fine.
