I have never stayed at a hotel that was in such a condition. There was construction material everywhere - in the lobby, hallway and the room I stayed in was still under construction. Unfortunately it was homecoming weekend, so I had no other options.
The price was very reasonable, but the property was in very poor shape. It looks like they are trying to improve the facility.

I mean a room under a $100 isn’t expected to be fancy but beds sucked pillows even worse. Didn’t even attempt to use the bathroom

I can’t truly rate this property do to me checking the room out and cancelling. The sheets had a pee stench, a baby spider in the tub, mold at the bottom of the shower wall. You can definitely believe any reviews u see on this or yelp. I wanted to think otherwise but I just wasn’t a fan as a young lady. The man at the front desk also sent a lady with a smart mouth to get us out the room, however we were inspecting to make sure we truly didn’t want to make the room work. Glad we didn’t.
Hotel has been under going an update to the rooms, the finished rooms are very well done.
The property has been badly in need of an upgrade. The owners have done an excellent job on the rooms that have gotten upgraded.
Staff are friendly and helpful.
TV was not setup.
Room was smelling of chemicals.
There were bugs in the room.
Quality of the workmanship or the hardware is not good.
Simple aesthetic design could add value.
There were tons of flies in the bathroom. The entire bathroom was dirty especially the floor. Tissue box was rusted into the wall and empty. Employees were very nice but would never stay there again.
Our room wasnt touched, cleaned, we had no towels and had to go to the front desk and ask for them, it said there was breakfast and a gym and they had neither
Was horrible!! They were remodeling. Have no down stairs rooms only up stairs. They are redoing all the stuff down stairs so everything a mess. All the stuff is where the breakfast is. The main bathrooms are locked. HIGHLY RECOMMEND NOT BOOKING WITH THEM
It was way overpriced considering how old it was and also all the updated materials were all over the entrance No breakfast it was one of the worst motels I have ever stayed in and the prices were outrageous Taking advantage of a grandchild’s graduation and many visitors
The hotel room occasionally had a very strong and unpleasant food odor. The hotel amenities appeared quite outdated, and some items were broken. The bath towels were small and thin. In addition, only coffee was provided in the hotel, with no tea or hot water available.
However, the staff members were very friendly and welcoming.
This was a classic bait and switch. Photos on the Hotels.com website did not come close to what the actual placed looked like and my wife did not talk to me until about 14 hours after we left this crap hotel. If it is between sleeping in your back seat or this place, take the back seat
The room was ok the pillows were the size of couth through pillows. I told the staff the our intire hallway smalled strong of pot. Nothing was done. It was just as strong when we got back hours later and still the next day. It would kinda followed us in when we came and went. It would go away in our room. Parking was fine. Didn't need the laundry facilities. When we were checking in one of us had to use the restroom. The women's bathroom was padlocked shut. Unavailable completely. There was just stuff piled up everywhere had a hard to get to our room. I would not recommend.
Main room light switch is on a sensor facing in the hallway so it randomly automatically turns off. Toilet is too low, toilet paper is almost as nice as the paper it comes wrapped in. The TV mount was flimsy and you could take the TV off should you so chose. No elevator.
