Not the cleanest. Staff were accommodating and helpful. Wish I didn’t feel pressured to choose a room in which they give you options to choose your room. I was only able to view 1 out of 3 of the rooms they selected for me. Pool isn’t accessible, bedding could be a lot more clean so can the rooms.
Rooms was not clean. Nothing about hotel was clean. 1st room someone had punched t.v. they gave us a different room, t.v. box didnt work so no t.v. again. Little roach friends on bathroom floor at night to greet you. Wont be using again or recommending.

The attitude of the staff is that one of the hospitality or Hospital at least a lot to be desired property is not bad rooms are bad
Close to interstate and State Fair wasn’t that far away. Front desk was on the ball. Was disappointed that there was no coffee available on any of the days. Air conditioner worked, toilet flushed and no clogged drains. Refrigerator was very clean! Very reasonable price too.
Great location for my stay, very clean with exception of everyone places there bags of trash from their room next to the elevator, kinda funky smell but room was quiet and comfortable
$100 incidental on top of room cost of checking in. Which is reimbursed upon checking out, didnt know but no worries. Outlets in room didnt work and informed staff before checking in. As they have you check the room before hand. I was offered to swap rooms but it wasn't a big deal to me as bathroom outlets work. Room was clean otherwise and staff was friendly.

Very average
When I arrived, the lobby was a zoo - loud noisy kids runn around screaming, a lady doing laundry right in the lobby, a group of 5 adults trying to have a conversation over all the noise - loud! The receptionist was off doing repairs so had to wait awhile to check in. She was very nice. The hotel is very dated - old dingy while boasting a larg sun outside newly opened. There were 3 bags of groceries sitting in the hallway just outside my door. Can’t wait to see what breakfast will be like. I did sleep well
Something sharp under the carpet that cut my foot. Only 1 VERY thin bath towel in the room. Asked for a couple more. Never received any! Nasty grime in elevator, lobby and room. AC not very good. Happy to check out
The lobby is pretty and everyone that works here was very friendly. But the actual condition of the room was just off. The room could be a lot cleaner, the paint in the bathroom was peeling off the ceiling, and the toilet paper dispenser was broken. We could never figure out how to work the TV or they don’t pay for cable. The linens for the bed need to be replaced. The room is a decent size, but the massive regular fridge needs to be smaller so it looks less awkward in the room. The price is what you pay for but it looks like the hotel is in a middle of a remodel and it just kinda stopped.
While staying at the hotel, the pool was closed. I had asked why it was closed and I got a response of "It's just closed". The room was nice. However, it could have been cleaner.
Not safe feeling, not clean, no toiletries, dirty towels, dirty bathroom, air did not work, and lots of noise. We turned in our keys and left. Front desk was nice, but said they couldn’t help with a refund. Expedia was wonderful recouping the payment.

When I arrived a large storm tore through this exact location. Lightning struck a transformer just across the parking lot and took out the hotel and surrounding area. I was never able to register or stay. Wasn't the hotel's fault. Mother nature had other plans for me.
This was one of the worst hotels I have ever stayed at. The room was filthy (mystery stains on the bed sheets and floor, bathroom appeared to have never been cleaned) and was falling apart. The common areas were dingy and not well maintained. Staff were incompetent and incapable of completing the bare minimum of tasks. If I had the option, I would have demanded a refund and left.
There were people loitering around this building and it looked deserted. The lobby was nice, but when I checked in, the attendant gave me a key to a room and said go check it and then come back down. I looked at her a little confused and she repeated herself, go check it and see if it's ok and then come back down to finish checking in. This should have been the leaving time. Instead we went up to a room that had horribly stained box springs and ac that didn't work. One of the elevators was out of order, it was about 85 degrees in all the highways and there was active construction happening throughout the first floor and the pool was out of service. I went back down and she gave me another key to another room to check. We went up, the key would not open the door so I came back down, handed the key to the attendant, told her to cancel my reservation and we went across the street and stayed there with no issues.
