Arrived to unattended front desk where there was a phone to dial 0 for help. Waited 10 minutes for last to arrive to check us in. Check in was an additional 15 minutes. The sliding door in our room, opened from the outside and does not lock. Breakfast offering was 2 varieties of cereal and a half gallon of 3 day expired milk in the refrigerator. The ice machine gave 1 cube of ice but failed to dispense any more. One of the worst hotel experiences I've had.

When I pulled up, the property looked deserted. Called to summon desk to check me in. He was very polite. The top safety latch was missing on my door, which being in the hotel all by myself was a little unnerving. Literally, I was alone with no hotel workers. There was no breakfast set up. I will say that everything looked very clean. Almost looked like they were working to fix up. Paid more then I would have expected for what I got.

We asked for the handicapped room, because I'm disabled and he was trying to give us one on the second floor. He acted like it was a terrible imposition. I tried to ask a few questions and got curt , short answers. I was told we'd have wifi. If l wanted to lay on the floor outside our room in the hall, I was able to get only one rung up on the icon, for a second. Nothing in our room. The bed was hard, pillows old and flat, no tissues or normal toiletries. No information about where ice machine, or breakfast hours... nothing. I'd really like my money back!!!

As noted from many other reviews, you get what you pay for. This place is barely holding its head above water before it’s massively renovated or shut down. One staff on shift, I had to search to find to check in, took almost 10 minutes, and I did smell alcohol on her breath. Once I got through check in, it was a quiet night. Probably would stay again.

Booked 2 nights originally until only about 1 hr into my stay I see a roach crawling the wall next to the bed… I started to look around the room after that and it was disgustingly dirty. Last guests clothes was still behind the chair, room didn’t seem to be cleaned in weeks.. had to argue with the man at the desk to even get my money back for the remaining night that I was definitely not staying.. refused to refund me for the first night even after only being in there for 1 hr. I even brought the roach to the front counter . I was refunded for the second night I booked.

I just needed a quiet place to sleep for the night. I paid $99.89 for one night, breakfast was to be included. The front desk area looked dirty, the hallway leading to my room smelled bad. The room looked clean and I did get a good nights rest. Upon awakening, i noticed the towels were old and needed replacing, so do the bed sheets. NO BREAKFAST? why is it listed, so they can charge $25.00 more per night. Look at my pictures of the breakfast bar, they should be ashamed of themselves. It would cost about $20. To buy adozen bananas and oranges, some yogurt and coffee creamer. There were only two slices of white bread and a squeeze bottle of jelly, I wasn't the only guest that was disturbed by this. When I called to ask where is the breakfast, the man on the phone said, would you like a couple of slices of bread.

Beds were comfortable had clean linens bathroom could have been cleaner. The stained shower curtain and chipped toilet seat both definitely needs to be replaced. Very sparse amenities did provide soap, tissues and plastic cups, we appreciated having room fridge and small table with chairs. Not sure if food/beverages were offered following morning we had very tasty breakfast at a nextdoor restaurant.

This is an old, tired, sad property straight out of the 1970's. Light over desk didn't work. Drapes over sliding glass door were coming off and were really hard to work. No hand rails in shower area and tub became slippery during shower (which worked fine). Toilet was low and sounded like a 747 was landing when flushed. Bed was fine. Breakfast was like raiding Grandma's kitchen. Two types of cereal, a 1/4 full gallon of milk in the mini-fridge, a toaster on the counter and slices of bread in the breadbox with two plastic containers of jam. The coffee was excellent. The property was clean enough.

Adequate in an emergency at best.

The room was clean enough, but was not a nice room at all. The door to the bathroom was peeling, the shower dripped unless I really wrenched it off, the toilet would run unless I jiggled the handle or lifted the lid and made sure the flap was down. There was noone at the desk ever in 2 days and I could not get a receipt when I checked out. There is a phone to call when you need desk help, but it takes a while for anyone to come and I didn't have time to wait. I feel I need to check my credit card bill to make sure I was not charged the $129.00 rate. Also the towel bar in bathroom was damaged. I felt I needed to take pictures of the damage to protect myself.
