Back stairwell to the building was absolutely filthy. They obviously never clean it.
When I booked the room online, it said it was a two star room. That’s being generous. Cheap room, you get what you pay for….

Paid over $230 for an $80 hotel at best. We arrived at 5pm and our room still hadn’t been touched from the last guests. The front desk woman was very helpful and put us in a new room, however this one still wasn’t necessarily “clean”. Burn holes and stains in the bedding, cobwebs all over the ceilings, and dirty floors in addition to damaged walls, a broken tub drain (so you couldn’t bathe, only shower), and exposed wiring right at the head of the bed. If it wasn’t our only option within 35 miles and being on a time crunch, we absolutely wouldn’t have stayed. Don’t waste your money.

It was disgusting.... we booked to stay for Zach Bryan concert last night and we ONLY changed in the room because we were crunched for time, we did not stay here, it was horrible. The door was already open, smelled like an ash tray from 1960 and well... pictures attached for reference. I'm allergic to cigarette smoke and walking into a \"non-smoking\" room, I couldn't even breathe. There is no way these \"good reviews\" are honest reviews. Very unhappy. *Given a star because you HAVE to in order to leave review.

They gave us a handicapped room which was fine but showering became an issue because the shower head was so low. There were some questionable stains on the wall in front of the toilet. Lastly; there’s a huge gap under the doorway and the door hinge. Which I know isn’t health department approved. That being said bugs were coming in the room. We had to use a towel to block off the gap. Other than that the lady at the desk was super nice and the house keeping guy was as well.

A True Realistic review

The 1st room ( 128 ) they put us in . The front door wasn't safe ... it had about 1/2 inch rise from the floor , and you could see outside . The bathroom was updated . The smell entering the room was beyond meldew . TV didn't work . They moved us to room 101. The smell entering was musky . The bedding & pillow cases had short black hair on them . The dispensers for handsoap , shampoo & shower gel were either a tiny amount in them , or had nothing in them . The one cup coffee pot on the bathroom counter was molded inside the water bowl ( no water ) . The air condition unit was set on 60• , and would not adjust to a more comfortable temp , and it was very loud . Although we stayed at this same location 10 yrs ago . I will give them kuddos to taking out the carpet , painting the walls .

Noisy with issues!

We stayed for two nights. After checking in we checked out the room. At first we thought it was fine. However later that night we found out that there was no way to plug the tub to soak. The drain piece was sitting on the side of the tub and had to be placed over the drain to take a shower. The mini fridge didn’t work well as it would not even cool a bottle of soda/pop. First night I was awakened by the sound of dogs fighting close to my room. Then someone kept hitting their key fob and locking and unlocking their car so it kept setting the car alarm for over 15 minutes. In addition, to another dog barking and people yelling outside the room! Lastly the bed seemed to be broken down in the middle so I kept rolling to the middle of the bed!

When I checked in, I noticed the lobby was a little run down and the turtle tank looked like sewer water. I still checked in, got my room key and proceeded to find my room. When I walked in I was immediately knocked down by the smell of cigarette smoke. I went back to the front desk and requested another room. The staff was kind and granted my request. When I got to my second room it was just as bad as the first. There was hair on the bed, the bathroom floor hadn’t been cleaned, paint was coming off the walls, the doors looked like they had been chewed up by a dog, and the air conditioner smelled like someone had urinated in the vent. I checked out immediately. The only reason I gave a one star terrible rating is because there was not a zero!

The room was a hanhicap room the shower was stained and shower/tub floor was slick and there was no shower mat provided. There was mold around the handicap safety bars. The entrance door seal was damaged leaving a large gap for bugs and other things to come in the room. There were 4 stink bugs on the ceiling and I found one roach on the base board. The bed mattress was very old and uncomfortable. The mattress made a very loud squicky noise every time you moved which was very annoying. It appeared that the bath room had been remodeled at some point but it looks like they reused the old shower head which didnt put out much water.

I would have booked somewhere else but it was obvious by the phone call I received from them that morning that bookings in that area were slim to none due to a musical festival.
