The bed was nice, but the hotel needs a lot of work. No ice machine and the laundry room is closed. The breakfast was poorly stocked. The place looks like it is on the verge of going bankrupt.

It’s changing the brand, and is therefore undergoing some changes. They could use new towels.

The hotel is not the brand advertised. It was not signed, making it impossible to find. The staff gave us a room that we entered and was either in use or not cleaned. The room we eventually got was filthy, had no hot water, did not have a functioning smoke detector or sprinklers and the beds were soiled. Somehow the shower was absolutely filthy. If it were possible to give negative stars, i would give it a black hole.

It is fine for what I needed it for. Just place a stop to sleep real quick on a long road trip across the country. I wouldn’t say it wasn’t clean just in desperate need of A renovation. It worked fine and was inexpensive.

The room smelled as if somebody had just smoked in it recently and no one told me that that was a smoking room. The carpet had paint stains all over it. And the bedsheets had cigarette burns and other stains on them. I felt really uncomfortable sleeping in that bed and wound up only getting a couple hours of sleep and then waking up and just leaving at like four in the morning because I didn’t even wanna shower in that hotel room.

This hotel is in transition from one brand to another. It definitely needs updating and repair. While the bed appeared to be clean and surfaces dusted, the carpet, light switches and doors were very dirty. The TV in the room didn't work (The cable going into the wall wasn't attached to anything). The deadbolt would not lock, which as a woman traveling alone, was unacceptable. I will say, the young man at the front desk who checked me in was very polite and as soon as I told him about the issue with my door, he grabbed his tool box and basically rebuilt my doorframe/jamb at 10pm. I definitely would not stay here again and if I hadn't prepaid, I would have not stayed there this time.

I wasn’t asked for an ID when checking in. I had called to add an extra reservation and I was told they could and would have one for me. That was not done. The room smelled stuff and the bedding felt nasty! The paneling in the bathroom wall was coming off. I didn’t stay at all. I left and didn’t even take pictures because I didn’t want to be in the room any longer.

Our expectations were low-just a cheaper, quick in/out to sleep. It was worse than we expected and had it not been almost 1:00 am and non- refundable, we would have gone somewhere else. There was Tooth paste splatter and grime on the bathroom mirror as well as the full length mirror. A dirty refrigerator with mold. It smelled pretty bad. However, the bedding was clean and mattress appeared relatively new with no evidence of bed bugs, and the toilet had been cleaned. The property is also run down and dirty. I think my favorite part was when the front desk clerk put the key card holder to his mouth and blew it open. I don’t mind dated decor and an older building but dirty with poor upkeep is not ok even for that price.

This was just an overnight stay. The air conditioning wasn't working very well and the TV did not work. I was in room 201 in case someone reads this and wants to repair it. I looked on the back of the TV and there were circuit boards hanging out so I left it alone. I had an iPad and I way to watch TV from it. The WiFi Worked well. Overall it wasn't terrible.

The shampoo that was by the bathroom sink was half gone. We were missing bath towels and had only 1 washcloth. At first the refrigerator wouldn't work, but we got it working. The bed was comfortable. We only stayed one night and it met our needs.

When I asked the front desk clerk to give me a statement of the charges to include no use of incidentals, he denied our request in a rude manner. So we had no statement when we left the Hotel. I hope he will not bill us for more than what he was supposed to, and for the incidentals we didn’t use.
