Clerk at check in was very short with instructions. Specifically told me that I had to move my car out of the loading area right away and made a point to note the no smoking fines. There is no elevator so I had to make three trips up a narrow flight of steps to get my bags up to the second floor. The room smelled like stale cigarette smoke and ass. I needed to be somewhere so I just left my things in the room and figured I’d deal with it later…it was late by the time I returned. I bought a couple of air fresheners before I went back but they didn’t even touch the smell. In the morning, I discovered the bathroom door didn’t close and looked like it had been kicked in more than once. The ceiling over the shower was peeling, there was no cover on the light fixture either. The towels were stained and had holes in them. Bedside table had something sticky/crusty on it as did the chair near the window. I was supposed to stay the weekend but I checked out the next day. My hair and clothes just stunk like this funky room. The same clerk tried to keep me from leaving. Definitely will not ever stay here again.

They overbooked our room despite making a reservations weeks in advance. They turned us away at check-in and it was a very busy night in the town so we were unable to find anything else in 30+ miles. The staff did not assist in any way. Also, there were bars in front of the check-in desk which should tell you what kind of place this is...

The front desk attendant was the omly employee we saw in 4 days. There was no stopper in the sink or the bath tub. Very weak water pressure. We left the room one morning about 10:00 am, returned to shower and change clothes about 3:00 pm and bed was not made and we had no clean towels. Asked same guy at front desk if they were going to make the bed and get towels? He looked at his watch and said, \"Well housekeeping has left for the day so I guess not.\" Tried to put the chain on door but it was broken and fell on the floor. There were no more than 5 cars in the parking four 3 days. Now I know why!

Despite high marks on this stay it’s important that management addresses the fact that there were no safety grab bars anywhere in or near the tub shower and only a plastic shower curtain to perhaps catch if you slipped on the extremely slick bath tub. They might save money in the long run using non slip ribbing on the tub surface as well as installing grab bars. So a fail in terms of handicapped accessibility in the bath area.

This hotel fell way short of others at this same price point. There was an odor in the hallway to our room. They had cut a flap in the carpet over electrical outlets. I tripped over that flap twice. We have stayed in rooms this size many times before. This hotel has chosen to do away with what I consider essentials. For example, there is no clothes rack with hangers for hanging garments. That has been replaced with 3 hooks. There is no towel rack in the bathroom. The towels are kept under the sink in the main part of the room. There is nothing to hang your clothes on in the bathroom. The hook that had been on the back of the bathroom room has been removed, the holes in the door remain. The “hot” water is warm not hot. When we opened the door to the room it was obvious the floor had been mopped which was nice. A quick glance at the bathroom showed that it was extremely small which was to be expected since this is an old hotel. When I took a bath I discovered that the tub had not been wiped out. There was soap scum in the tub. The exhaust fan did rattle a few times but eventually settled down. The black out shade on the window is excellent. The towels and bedding were good quality. The TV had cable with numerous choices. There were 2 face size bars of soap but they were a good quality. There were 2 paper cups in the room and they were at the coffee pot on the desk. The back of the room door showing how to evacuate the hotel did not show our room location.

The microwave and refrigerator were both unclean. The refrigerator had several rust spots on the door and it only had three legs so it was wobbly despite the rolled up shopping bag used to correct the wobbling. No hooks any where in the room to hang towels. Holes in the bathroom door indicated where the hooks used to be. The ellipse machine was out of order and no signage indicating this placed on or near the machine. Staff were informed about the refrigerator and stated that someone would check it the next morning. No one ever came. Breakfast was visibly horrible with its individually wrapped slices of white bread and toaster waffles. Butter and grape jelly were the only toppings for the bread. Small individually wrapped cinnamon rolls were also available. Yogurt, 2 juice options, 2 cereal options and coffee completed the menu. I ate nothing either day. No Day's Inn or for that matter Wyndham chain for this traveler.

I believe the owners living there I heard so much screaming in the halls then when I walked out there were 3 Indian men that worked there that were standing a group standing there and looking at my room when I walking out there where just starting there was lady with no shoes on the couch I think the mom the place is really ran down but the rooms where nice wouldn’t give me a refund and I was only there for 3 hours and needed up booking somewhere else. The are very greedy halls smells like food when I pulled up it was drunk me just standing around staring & I also believe there was only 2 other people staying there is gave me very weird vibes didn’t feel safe at all location in a nice area but would recommend the hotel across the parking lot. Front desk asked me a bunch of question I wasn’t comfortable with as a female traveling over all terrible experience, but I can say the room where nice & clean & did look like the pictures the rest of the hotel was very old & ran down also there wasn’t much space on think to put your things.

Barely any guests in the hotel and the continental breakfast was scares to say the least. One frozen waffle, one yogurt, 4 bananas, and some cereal. That was all the choices for a family of 4. Got a text saying if we need anything to respond to the text. Asked for an extra blanket and some more towels. 4 people in the room, one blanket, 2 towels. Never got them. Went to the desk to ask, still never got anything.

There were some cleanliness issues that need to be cleared up. The building is obviously old but they seem to have done some renovations. There was some kind of mold build up in my shower drain, so I just skipped showering since it was just one night. The bedding was a little stained, so that was disappointing. And the furniture was also heavily stained. But over all, for the price I paid, it was as good as I expected. They so clearly clean the basic areas on a regular basis as there was no dust build up, the bed was perfectly made, and the floor was very clean. The staff was also very nice and accommodating.

Staff was very rude, specially the receptionist who checked me in, I showed up on time and he said I couldn’t check in because the room wasn’t ready which I understand but at the same time is their responsibility to have it ready by check in time, at that point I was already upset but what upset me a lot more is the way he was talking to me, very rude and prepotent. Also the bed makes noise every time you move which is annoying when you’re trying to sleep.

We were looking for an easy access from interstate and this was one. Was able to check in before check in time of 2 pm. When viewing room which was on 1st floor...decision was it wasn't the right place for us due to my allergies and a musty smell. Other occupants were in hotel hallway making environment a little uncomfortable. Returned key backed to desk even before the 2 pm check in time with explanation of needing room closer to Granger, Iowa. Desk person stated could not refund full charge but possible half. I called hotel after returning home checking on refund....person stated not authorized to give refund. Lesson learned!!

This is an older facility that has been remodeled. It was the cheapest on the internet so I wasn't expecting much more than cheap. Owners have done a very nice job of rehabilitating the rooms. My room was clean and simple. I wanted a bed, shower, toilet and that's what I got. Not amazing, but you're not paying for amazing. People that rate this place poorly are expecting more than they are paying for. If you want nice, then pay more. If you want a bed and a shower, this place is for you. I wouldn't plan a weeks stay here, but for a night or two, it fits the bill.

It took forever to check in. They kept saying there system was down but then couldn’t figure out which rooms were and were not available even though they had keys for rooms that were available. It was also very suspicious that they were writing down my ID information and then charged my card 4times for the $25 dog fee for 1 night. They even still keep calling me about needing to charge my card again which when you try to tell the manager that it’s already been charged 4 times he doesn’t listen or seem to understand. This is the 2nd time I have had issues with staff at this hotel. I would not recommend to stay there to anyone.
