We had a great stay. We got a room that accommodated people with a handicap. The bathroom had a walk in shower and a shower chair. It worked perfect for my elderly mother.

We chose this hotel specifically for the ability to park trucks/trailers as we were in town for the car show. Large vehicle parking is plentiful, but not on a paved area. Cynthia at check in and Missy in breakfast area are super. Mattresses are horrible...way too soft...sink in middle. Tub needs replaced as it is stained with dirt. Towels are super thin. Lotion and shampoo was provided but no hair conditioner. More of a traveling blue collar worker hotel, but it served our purpose as we were only in hotel a few hours at night to sleep. Requested a non smoking room, which we got, right NEXT to a smoking room. Furniture full of nicks and gouges. It is certainly Economy looking, but again served our purpose. Left in the morning with Do Not Disturb sign on door and ac set on 68. Came back to clean room thermostat set on 74. Not good when you were looking to come back to a COOL room after being outside at hot car show all day.

Worst place ever stafff on front desk were very rude and unprofessional. Rooms were dirty and smelled weird behind the bed, were spider webbs and dust...they charged me my deposit for the carpet being dirty and because the bed sheet had a food stain, which has never happened to me before at any stay.I tried reaching out the manager and been given the run around , called choice privileges and the same thing. . For that amount of money I paid, I expected a more comfortable stay with my family that i had not seen in over 4 months .

Front desk workers were nice. Bed was comfortable. The room looked to be a combination of old original hotel and somewhat recently updated. Shower/tub looked like it hadn't been cleaned in a year, while the sink and countertop looked new. I guess floors are thin, because we got a noise complaint from the room below us for walking too loud.

I have never experienced a room that I booked being “given away”. My daughter and I drove 2.5 hours to stay at this hotel the night before her state cross country meet only to be told we didn’t have a room. It was cancelled without notice because someone else extended their stay. A room I booked weeks in advance. When I asked the woman at the desk why they didn’t call, she had no answer. She just said “it happens”. I asked her what were we supposed to do without a place to stay…she just shrugged her shoulders and said sorry. Thankfully, another down the street is aware of this hotel doing this to other customers and they were able to book us a room. Never again. NEVER again!

I would NEVER RECOMMEND this place to no one not even my dog. I was treated terribly. I was charged an extra $100 unknowingly days after checkout. The housekeeper and staff lied and said there was going all over my room at check out. All lies. My 7 year old had vomit in a small area of the room around midnight so bc there was no housekeepers available I wiped the vonit with what towels were available in the room being it’s late and we had to clean it bc we still had to sleep there. Cleaned it all up but of course the smell will remain. It was literally nothing for the housekeeper to clean the room was left undamaged. Only to call and get mistreated by the front desk bc I asked for my money back for the deposit bc I disagree with the accusations and they had no proof. I don’t have money to waste. The original cost of the room was already overrated for what the property looks like. My toilet didn’t even flush in the rooms I had to get a plunge upon arrival but I didn’t complain. Only for them to treat me like this. $296 for one night stay. This is robbery and I will be taking further action against this hotel
