Horrible

I’m not from the area so I should have researched the area better, horrible place. If all my funds weren’t tied up from there I would have found a different place to stay while I was in town. We had to go get our own cleaning supplies to clean the place before taking our belongings in.

The sink was broken & leaked everywhere? the room smelt of cigarettes despite it being a non smoking room. the stairwell smelt like urine so bad that every time we went up and down we had to hold our breath. it took 5-6 hours for staff to come upstairs to fix our tv & once they did, you cannot change the channel

Wonderful Stay

It was really amazing. The staff was very friendly and open. The room was nice. It was a budget hotel but rather nice for one. Definitely ask for more pillows next time though.

This was one of the dirtiest properties I have been to. I understand that you get what you pay for, but under the sink in my room was dirty, my bathroom had nails coming out of the sink and the trim was coming off of the wall in the sleeping area. The people working at the desk weren’t very friendly, either. We only stayed knowing it was only a few hours until we left. Our “key” was a sliver of paper with our room number and the keypad code handed to us. There were no deadbolts or chains on the door, so we used our ironing board for additional safety. The bathroom door was splitting. We left around 8 or 9am and never heard or saw cleaning staff. The front desk gave us no direction to find our room or offer information as to where the best area would be to move our vehicles to ensure we parked closer to our room. The doors to enter and exit were not protected with a key, so it lacked the safety.

It is a super low budget hotel and is just as expected. Staff was friendly though and that is saying a lot considering some of the issues they have to deal with.

The listing shows a hot tub in king bed room in multiple pics, for $55, which is why I chose. Called front desk after arrival and told for room in pics, it would be $130. False advertising!
