Stayed two nights. Thay advertised free breakfast. 1st time all they had was some fruit loops cereal and a small bear claw. 2nd day same thing walked in this guy says all they have is cereal and no milk. Ask the gentleman at the front desk where the breakfast was he said they we all out this was 7:00 am. Carpet in room was a black color, and it was dirty left your feet black. Tables in room were dirty ring marks from glasses or cups.
One pillowcase had a bold stain on it. Overall, very disgusting.

Staff at check in was not courteous. There were two gentlemen behind the counter talking to each other and didn't acknowledge my husband when he walked in. When my husband told them he was there to check in he was told they were busy and to come back in 10 minutes.
The floor in the room was not clean. My husband forgot to bring slippers and his socks were filthy from walking around in the room while getting ready.

The room was nice, carpet a little soiled. The remote was found under the mattress cover as I guess the person cleaning the room forgot it was there. The television didn't work on cable so couldn't watch television. I told the front desk person in the morning about the television, and he acted like it really didn't care. Not much of a breakfast but due to the price of the hotel, I didn't expect much. I probably wouldn't stay there again.

Staff were very courteous, room was clean, however the carpet looked very very stained and dirty. Would have liked more breakfast options as well. Otherwise very quiet and conveniently located.

Hotel Management canceled our stay halfway through after having an a medical emergency that required an ambulance to take me out for surgery. When I was released two days later from the hospital my family still correctly state at the hotel they moved us to the handicap room and then complained of plumbing issues that we did not have issues with only to find out it was next to the resident employee on the property.

No water pressure. Shower head was very old and disgusting. Told front desk I did not want service. Employee could not have cared less what I was saying. Sure enough came into my room while I was gone. Door would not open all the way-broke. Don’t book, this place is a dump.

“You get what you pay for” is definitely how’d I’d rate this hotel. I usually check the sheets before getting into our beds, but we were so tired we just kind of fell into bed. In the morning, I noticed blood on the sheets of the bed near the top, so it was next to my child’s face. She had no blood on her which tells me the sheets were bloody. I will never not check the sheets again.
Also, breakfast, if you can even call it that, was disappointing. There was bread, frozen waffles, juice, and some prepackaged cinnamon rolls.

The room was very clean and didn't feel old like the rest of the hotel like the lobby and the elevators. The price was very affordable. The breakfast was slices of bread or frozen eggos that you could toast, or cold cereal. It was kind of pathetic. But we only stayed one night so for the money and the clean room, I think I would stay here again if I was in the area again.

The hotel was fine but the neighborhood is terrible. I pulled in late and found a person parked in the lot trying to get my attention by saying violent murmurs. So strange how you can find drunk people walking around on the street in front at any hour. The majority of non chain restaurants are cash only. All pointing to a different town for me on my next trip.

The room stunk bad. B.O., cigarettes, musty.
The couch was totally gross.
We had to eat outside. Bed was comfortable enough, but we wouldn’t stay there again.
Even toilet seat was very loose and swung just by lifting the lid.

Earlier in the day I called and requested a room close to the elevator and was told it would not be a problem. My wife and I are handicapped and struggle with long walks.
The person who checked us in did not care about my request and gave us a room furthest from the elevator.

(-) Some electrical outlets were loose. Room was not ready after I checked in. Floor still wet. Stairwell had slight smell of urine.
(-) No restaurants or drive -thru places open near hotel area after 10pm.

(+) Manager and housekeeper (very friendly) were very helpful.

(+)Availability of parking spaces visible from my room.

(- and +) Somewhat seedy location but there were a lot of cameras viewable from check-in office. Also saw two security folks doing patrols of hotel area.
