What guests think

Several note a closed or dirty pool and limited parking near rooms.

Parking isn’t the best. I was given a room in the front but the only spaces available were handicap tag required and the next closest spaces were on a steep incline. Check in clerk was very knowledgeable and offered some areas of interest. Friendly service.

This was a prepaid room booked for me by a family member when I was traveling home from a visit further south. The conditions of this hotel are horrible, it was dirty, (mold in bathroom, cobwebs, dust and a stale smell) poorly maintained and in desperate need of repairs and updating. I also felt unsafe because it almost felt abandoned. I asked the only staff member if it was safe and he said, "it\'s a small town. I will put you in a room in the front near the office." All of the rooms are outside entrance, and I had to park several yards from my door because the parking in front of my room was all handicapped. The staff member told me that I could park in the handicapped because "they don\'t usually get seniors." Immediately after walking into my room, I returned the key and left.

Needs updated desperately. There were several stink bugs in the room. Shower head was eye level and I’m 5’5. Aside from those things the desk staff was very kind. They have a typical hotel breakfast included.

Check in was simple and the clerk was friendly. Room was rough. Stains and black smears on walls and chairs. Heater made the worst growling sound that it woke us up every time it came on. Wallpaper in bathroom was peeling up like 6inches and so small that the door barely cleared the toilet to open! Luggage rack was rusted and the microwave barely popped a bag of popcorn. But the worst part was the weed smell coming in the vents… it got worse each night we were there and by the 3rd night we almost left, it smelled like someone legitimately smoke a joint on the bed and left. Never again will I stay there when I’m in the area and that is often.

Got here at 9 pm on a Wednesday night. Hotel not crowded at all. I drove around the hotel and counted fewer than ten vehicles. Clerk assigns me a room at the front of hotel near a busy noisy road. I wish he had been more conscientious. I turned on music and can still hear the roar of traffic outside. Other than that, the hotel is fine. I would recommend you request a room in the back of the hotel. Defintely avoid the lower 100s. My room is #100.
