The rooms are only separated by a locked door. The person in the room next to us was blasting music all evening. We complained to the front desk, they said they would call the room and have them turn the music down, that never happened. The music blared all night resulting in no sleep for my husband and I, with a 10 hour drive ahead of us. Okay place just to lay your head, but not if you want to get a restful sleep

This is incredibly frustrating, my flight was delayed, even though I had paid a deposit on the room, I got in 12 hours later than expected. When I checked in, they told me that they not only charged me, but that they gave my room away. Neither a refund nor solution was given. So not helpful, I called Expedia and they told me it was up to the discretion of the hotel.

NOT A VERY GOOD AREA, either.

I believe it was the owner who is at the front desk, so word to the wise… STAY AWAY

Stayed one night . My husband and I noticed itchy , red bites that become swollen and more like welts all over us by the evening of our same day checkout. Unfortunately, we have had one other experience years ago with a cabin stay that had bed bugs . We emailed the corporate office on Sunday , and they responded on Monday. After several emails back and forth they also recommended we call the hotel as they are individually owned . The hotel manager was very dismissive , and said their “ bug guy “ checked the room and there was no bugs . Looking at the reviews of this hotel after the fact, there are other complaints of BED BUG infestations. Clearly this is a problem in their hotel . The comforter also on the bed was stained and smelled like cigarettes. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS HOTEL!!

The free breakfast had NO options! The containers and compartments for fruit, muffins, bagels, yogurt, milk..... were empty. There was sugared cereal and a waffle marker. The bedding was stained (sheets and comforter). There were people loud and loitering outside. The pool was uninviting. But the staff person was very friendly.

I feel bad leaving this review but want people to know what they’re walking into. The facility looks to have gotten a very superficial face lift. “Lipstick on a pig” if you will. Unfortunately the rooms smelled of smoke and mildew. It was not a great part of town from what I could tell. It is a motel that people appear to be living in. We ended up rebooking elsewhere. The management was very understanding and did provide us with refunds which was appreciated.

Blanket wasn't changed it was dirty. Shower, toilet caked on grime so nasty. The doors haven't ever been cleaned disgusting. The lamps hadn't been cleaned covered in excess dust. Really looked like the housekeeper just made the bed and vacuumed. I always expect laziness so i take my own cleaners and gloves to clean before i even bring in my stuff. Convenient to several restaurants, can walk if you prefer. No one bothered me, guests weren't loud. I stayed one night and asked for later checkout they told me they could give me until 1pm. I needed 5pm, so they made me book 2 nights though i needed only 1. When i did checkout at 5pm, i asked if I'd receive any credit for not staying the next night. She said no bcz it was after 3pm so different stories.

Walls are not sound proof as stated in hotel description. And the tv had a very bad reception. This place was not worth $114 a night. I did rough it and stayed 6 nights. For work purposes.

I must tell you the truth, this property look good on your site but I wouldn`t stay here again. The property is old and insect is flying in your room and you had to take your dirty towels to get clean ones and when going to office it smell like a dead animal of some kind , that both day we stays, the front desk clerk tried to be very nice but he is over work, where he do laundry and run the front desk and I think he must work a 12 hour shift. And the food what little they had and no eggs or meat. I think this hotel must just open or new management but it is terrible run. This hotel really need a cleaning staffs and at least come in your room and empty the trash and give you clean towels. they have orther hotel I should have stay but price was reasnable but it was still not worth the stay.
