I was a little skeptical when pulling up due to the area, overall the stay was great! Room was nice, water pressure was great after a long day at work and the water temp was nice and hot. Will stay here again when I’m working in the area!

This place should be condemn! The rooms were disgusting. The floors were gross through the whole place. I think it was ran by a bunch of meth smokers. I would even let a dog stay there. I highly recommend not even think of going there. We did stay there.

Reviews made me nervous but..

Was in town for hockey games. Price was unmatched compared to other hotels in town. Reviews made me a little nervous but the hotel was in a great location, friendly staff and I felt safe. The place had a little bit of a smell, but it is an older building. Shower worked, heat/air worked, tv worked. Will stay again if the need arises.

The staff were very friendly and courteous, but the room was not good. The beds were not comfortable. There were lights and outlets that didn’t work. It is also very dated. It’s a strictly not smoking hotel but the hallways stunk of cigarette smoke.

Amanda

We checked in, and while the hotel is older, we were ok. However, it was 19 degrees on our first night there and we had no heat in our room, we were all quite cold. We decided to check out after one night and the front desk staff was apologetic and very accommodating with that. They claim they submitted a form to Expedia to refund the second night and to take an amount off of the first night for the heat not working. I am hoping that is accurate, but struggling to find that on Expedia to find out the status. The contact/support option on Expedia is hard to utilize for these things.

There was dried vomit on the carpet beside the desk. No towels or toilet paper in the room. There was a dirty rag draped over the shower curtain. We went to check out immediately. The front desk was on the phone with the manager. The manager said as long as we did not write a bad review they would fully refund us. The manager then refused the refund when Expedia contacted them. Absolutely disgusted with the room and the manager.
