We were supposed to be able to check in at 3:00 p.m., but when we arrived around 3:45, our room still wasn’t ready because it hadn’t been cleaned. After waiting, we were told it was ready, but the floor was still wet, so we had to be careful.
The entire hotel smelled strongly of cigarette smoke. Our room key didn’t work, and we had to have it reprogrammed three different times. There was also no internet or working phone in the room.
Although the room had a kitchenette, it didn’t include any utensils, dishes, or even washcloths, which made it much less useful than expected.
The only real positive was the location—it was very close to the new amphitheater, which is why we chose to stay there. If you’re looking for an inexpensive place to stay after a concert, it will work, but come prepared and don’t expect many amenities.

This was a big disappointment. They did absolutely nothing well. There was no one there when I arrived, so I had to call the number on the wall and wait almost two hours for someone to arrive. The room was not well cleaned or maintained. The beds were not comfortable. But, it did have a good location for my visit and free parking.

We needed a last-minute spot to sleep for our date night at the casino. This wasn't far from the casino & close to a few prime spots! The front desk was nice & the room was decent but the hotel smelled like weed, really, really strong. No plug-in outlets around the beds. We booked a queen bed, not a double & when we got there, they were out of queens (we booked about 4 hours before showing up) & we got \"upgraded\" to double queen beds, which were 2 doubles, smaller than we'd like as a couple.

Strong Pot Smell shabby room

We arrived very late - 2am. I called on the phone and the staff let us in. First impression was BAD. Lobby was dirty and the entire floor smelled like pot and a very strong perfume that maybe was used to try to cover up the pot smell. Also, 3 police cars were in the parking lot when I arrived. The room appeared clean but bathroom door and paint were worn & rusty. The smoke detector was covered with what looked like dried wet paper towels or something . I'm not sure if that meets fire code. I'm assuming it was that way because of the pot smoking but it was a no smoking room. I was kind of grossed out by the initial problems- police, terrible smell, dirt, rust & broken bathroom door, that I never really felt comfortable. But we didn't have any other issues with our stay.

The smell was awful

Upon entering our room, there is a strong unpleasant smell. The smell seem to be coming from the couch, I’m sure somebody urinated on it. The tile and the door trim in the bathroom needed paint and repair. As we were packing to leave, I noticed that there was a dead bug on the sheets. There were also ants crawling on our belongings. I immediately laundered all of our clothes and disinfected our bags when we got home. I wasn’t really comfortable with the group of men drinking beer right outside our window either

The room did not have working air conditioning, the water never got Hot, The Tv was very small, and you could not get a good channel. The bed was lumpy and small. The desk was way to tall compared to the chairs. The pillows on the bed were small couch pillows, Not a pleasant or comfortable stay. When we first walked into room it smelled like tobacco, and the side of the bed by the wall smelled like dog. We had booked and paid for two nights, but only stayed for one. Would like a refund for one night. Staff was very pleasant and tried to be helpful.

I’m trying to call the number that is listed on Expedia for the property. It is not accurate after being on hold for eight minutes it disconnects you at arriving at the property. The manager tells me that the proper number is on the card at the desk. I tell him that does mean no good when I live three hours away and cannot contact the property. The property is in desperate need of repair. We had other guests in other rooms. They did not even have a hairdryer so they had to dry their hair over the air conditioner in their room the counters in our room or very old stained and had horrible marks on them. The couch in our room had stains, tears, and paint on them. The coffee table if you want to call it that I think a five year-old could’ve put it together better and I don’t know that I would’ve even set a cup on it. The towels in the bathroom looks like they came from the dollar store. They did not match. We’re very thin and very small. The hallways smelled musty and old. I saw housekeeping’s mop bucket, and it look like the color of coffee and not the nice latte like espresso, black coffee, and she was continuing to floors in the room with it. The manager on properly, he is very rude. There is no staff at night so if your key does not work or you lose it, go sleep in your car. I had tried to call the number on the business card for the hotel in the middle of the night as there were people sleeping outside on the sidewalkand there was no answer and the front desk is locked up.

I knew I was booking a budget hotel but this place had the highest rating of all the local hotels in the area. I have to admit I was skeptical but reserved it anyway. We got there and our nonsmoking room did not smell terrible with the air on but we had to walk through a smoke filled hallway to get there. The two bath towels were so thin they barely dried us after our shower. one of them was dirty. The shower curtain was also dorty. We had gone out and when we returned and were taking showers we didn’t want to have to get dressed and call the front desk. The room is uniquely furnished with a nice fridge and stove- however no ice bucket, nothing in the cabinets to use on the stove- no silverware, cookware- nothing to clean anything with. It really doesn’t make sense to have the amenities that you can’t use. The bed was not great- but again I wasn’t expecting super comfort. Overall I’d give it a 2 at best. I paid 120.00. The next night it was 49.00- go figure.

This property could use a lot of TLC. Rooms have been updated, however they are still very shabby and run down. The entire property could use an update! The site needs a good deep cleaning, carpets, windows , walls and common areas. On the positive, it is quiet. The staff was responsive and knowledgeable. It is obviously a place for construction workers and transient residents, which is okay, however they also deserve upgraded, clean and updated facilities.

They were nice about not charging me for the broken room, when I was more concerned about the fact they gave me a room with broken furniture. I usually travel with a hair dryer but didn’t since most hotels have them. No hair dryer. It is dog friendly but I had dogs barking in four different rooms near me. It had a kitchen but nothing in the drawers or shelves to cook with. I was a short stay but thought of leaving just for health reasons.

Find somewhere else! Should have read the reviews!

Paid for a King room with a kitchenette. Received a queen room with a kitchenette, not that big a deal. However, when we checked into the room and checked said room came to find that while yes there was a kitchenette there was also nothing that came with it. No dishes, no pots or pans, not even silverware that we could use. All of the other hotels that I have stayed at, that offered kitchenettes, also offered some cookware and dishes of some sort. I travel a lot for work so this was quite the surprise. Also to note that the hotel had a very strange smell that started in the lobby and continued upstairs and down the hallways. Not a place I will be staying at again.

It says the front desk is open 24/7. We got to the hotel at 2am, and the doors were locked. There’s a phone sitting there to call for front desk help, and I used that multiple times with no prevail. Thankfully another guest had let us into the lobby so we could wait and avoid the cold. Thankfully it was booked through Expedia. After an hour of waiting, somebody finally showed up to check us in. The room we got was dirty, freezing, and the door looked like somebody had kicked it in recently. After telling them that we will not be staying in that room due to safety concerns, the front desk ‘upgraded’ us to a ‘suite’ for the inconveniences. The suit was definitely not my definition of a suite. The next morning we left at 9 and there was still nobody at the front desk to check people in.
