Hallways had trash that was there when we arrived and, was still there when we left. Fire doors were propped open the whole tie we were there. Back entrance was propped open all night. Cholate bar in the vending machine was sagging from the heat. At the back of the parking lot there was at least a 30 foot drop off. No warning or safety barrier at all. Extremely poor lighting if at all. Bottom of tub was slick with soap scum. Water pressure was poor and temperature was not controllable due to pressure luxation. There was a pile of soaked rotting matrices piled next to the dumpster.

The room was huge we had a king room, the water pressure in the sink was not great- the shower was awesome. Bigger size fridge then I was expecting so that was a nice surprise. Close to a dunkin, burger king and other food places. The pillows were odd, tiny. The room key kept deactivating so that was sort of annoying. Over all it was quiet, even with the hotel being full it was quiet not loud rude guest. We did have our dog, and other guests had dogs so there were barking but it wasnt loud.

Parking was fine, It was very noisy. People live there all the time, On the 2nd night Someone was drunk and shooting a gun out the window. It was 1:20 am and the police came and arrested him. Then on another night a man was knocking on the door around 1 am again then he went to the door next to us and gave a password and a lady said come in! Not sure what that’s about but I have an idea.On the last day an hour before checkout the office called the room to ask if we were checking out or staying another day that seemed rude like they were trying to rush us out. Don’t stay there for your own safety.

And after all that incident they gave me a room that looks like nobody clean it, the shampoo little bottle was empty and just two towels, the shower did look nasty with hair on the shower head and everything did looks like it didn't was clean.
And also they start knocking from 9:45 like there was a fire outside just for the check out, when check out its at 11 A.M

I booked 2 months in advance to make sure we got the room we wanted. Only for them to tell us when we got there that..oh we tried to call you telling you we don't have that room available and we had to give you another room. They called myself and my mother a day before confirming if we were going or not? Obviously..If we had booked the rooms in advance then obviously we were coming.
My mom's room smelt like old musty stale cigarettes that not even leaving the fan on all day in the room could get the smell out.
Walked into the bathroom to find bugs. Told the front desk about it and the only thing I got was a look of bewilderment asking if I wanted to check out because they had no rooms left.
The fist size hole in the wall was a lovely addition to the room as well as the gash in the bathroom door. People are opening and slamming doors when you are trying to sleep and there's barely enough parking for anyone because there people who live there . It's difficult to find a cat friendly hotel so this is why we resorted to this one.

Adding into this review this place is festooned with black mold in both my mom's room and our room and someone OD'd in the parking lot tonight

Do not stay at this hotel!!!!

DO NOT STAY AT THIS HOTEL! This hotel was disgusting, it was filthy, smelled and is not safe to stay at. From the resident sitting on the couch in the lobby with no shoes to the clerk being behind glass not to mention the resident that was in front of us paying her weekly rent with blood running down her leg. We should have known then to leave then but gave it the benefit of the doubt and checked in. We get to our room and open the door to the fresh smell of gallons of bleach used to clean the room. I would have rather gone outside in the snow to go to the bathroom than use the bathroom in the room. The sheets were stained. There was stains on the walls where bleach was poured on the walls to get what I can only assume was blood off the walls near the door. There were other spatters on the walls. I don’t think the last person in this room ever checked out by the looks and smell of it. That was enough for me, we grabbed our stuff went down gave the key back and went to the Holiday inn express 20min down the road. I will take it up with my credit card company to get the refund on the room.

The room was a good size and relatively clean, however, for a no smoking room, it did smell like cigarettes. My stay was miserable. I did not sleep all weekend long. Between the people above me stomping around and the couple screaming bloody murder through the night it was honestly terrible. It was so loud and scary my daughter didn’t want me to leave the room to go to the front and complain because she thought someone was being hurt. I did go to the front to complain about the people above the next night, and the stomping subsided for a bit. I thought the screaming couple had gotten kicked out after a whole night of screaming but alas at 6am the next morning I was awoken by crazy people screaming again and wanted to cry. I hear the staff knock and say “is everything ok” at the point..like, really? People like that need to be kicked out. I honestly should have requested a refund after the first night of not sleeping but I’m a very timid, non confrontational person, so that’s my own fault. I can tell you, I will never stay at this location again. The positives: it’s in a nice location, lots of food options, a movie theater. It’s just too bad staff did nothing about the screaming couple.. I can’t think I would be the only one who heard them.

Do not recommend this place for the general public. The smell (mix of cleaning products and smoke) was so overwhelming that it felt like we couldn’t breathe. The noise from others staying there was also way too loud. Our room was pretty run-down and outdated, and didn’t seem like it was cleaned all that well. The tipping point for us was finding a cockroach in the bathroom. Luckily the staff there promised to give us a refund. We could not even stay one night there, and left that first night for a nearby hotel.

**** WORST HOTEL STAY EVER ****

Not only is this hotel dumpy, we could hear stomping and thumping ALL NIGHT LONG from room above us. At 1 am we called manager to have something done. He came to the room to 'listen for himself' then went up to speak to occupants. The next day, early again, banging continued. Apparently there was a family with 5 children, and the manager had been trying to reach them for 3 days. Why put 7 people in one room, and on the TOP FLOOR so people below have to hear that? I spoke to other people on my floor and they said they could hear it too.We left first thing in the morning and found a red roof inn a few miles away and it was so much better. Their continental breakfast didn't even have juice for kids, coffee only. Luckily there was a dunkin donuts next door. Parking lot is super suspicious, no benches or bbq or grassy area like in the pictures. manager unhelpful, kept dodging my calls once i returned home, until i got Hotels.com involved. I wouldn't stay here again if it was free. Go to the Red Roof instead. This was such a terrible stay, and really put everyone in a bad mood until we got to a better hotel. I can't say enough warnings about this place. One positive - one of the maids/ staff did get some orange juice for my kids, and was very apologetic for the noise and lack of sleep. The manager couldn't care less. Then he offered me a king size bed. How is that going to help unless we are not anywhere near that family of 7+ people? No thanks.
STAY AT YOUR OWN RISK.
