Room, bed linens and floor were clean. The price was right, since I was just looking for a bargain stay for my last minute trip. Shower panels were falling off the walls, shower faucet/shower head assembly was not attached inside the wall; I thought the plumbing pipes were going to pull right out when I turned the shower on. It was a bargain, but the place needs some quality remodeling!

The owners/staff are really nice and accomodating; when we discovered about 10 or so roaches in our room - they gave us a different room. But overall the property is rundown - not in good shape at all. There was a substance leaking up from the floor in the bathroom - cracks and holes, etc.

Best value as its name. All basic things worked for us hot water, toilet, heater, fridge.. We got a non smoking but the people stayed before us smoked that made it smelled pretty bad. However the manager Mr. Patel immediately gave us a new room. The train noise waked me up 2 times but I had been aware before booking. Was able to get back to sleep. Will stay again next time

Dayton hotel

Motel located in good place and priced very well. Close to everything. Front desk employees very nice. Love the remold of room. Finally no carpet! They just need to wash the shower curtain. Very moldy smelling. They also need to add a rug at the door as you come in to wipe off your feet. Otherwise, very enjoyable stay and would definitely stay there again.

The gentleman at the desk was very accommodating. I had to make an adjustment to the night I was staying, and there were no issues with the change. We slept in a little late in the morning and the person on staff allowed us extra time to get ourselves gathered up and out. Comfortable bed and room had all of the proper necessities. The bed was much more comfortable than the bed in the hotel across the road.

Great budget hotel, would gladly stay again

My stay was three nights and was very comfortable. I stayed in three different rooms, because the trip was extended day by day. Each room had very good quality mattress protectors, and nice clean bedding. The rooms were spacious, and had microwaves and refrigerators that were clean and in good working order. Service was very pleasant and helpful.

Bedbug hotel

After checking into the room. The cleaning lady told me that the room we were staying doesn't get cleaned often because she is the only cleaning person. As we got we were getting ready for bed our week old baby was laying on the bed next thing I see is a bedbug crawling across the baby blanket. I took a picture then I picked it up with toilet paper and placed it in a bag and took it to the front desk. He tried to convince me that they clean everyday but I could tell they didnt. So i requested a refund and took my family to another hotel. I will not be staying here again and would never recommend anyone to stay there.

There was \"extra furniture\" stored in this room. Bedspread torn. Lamps without lightbulbs. Bathroom doorknob hung loose to door. Pillows lumpy--full of small lumps. Bathroom mirror had paint all around its edges from lack of cleanup following paint. Generally, the room looked very outdated and unloved...no pride of ownership/managership here.
