Our room was an adjoining room was not aware until we got in the room. This made me feel really uncomfortable.
The water only got lukewarm warm even with it as hot as it would go. Outside our room window was a pair of boxers on the ground. The AC unit was working to good haha it was set at 68 but felt like 58. The also had motion sensor light near the door when you walk in great idea for that however every time I rolled over in bed it would turn and I would get up and turn it off.
The room was very quiet and they are updating the property which looks very nice and will look great once they are complete.

If I could give this hotel negative stars I would. Every hallway was dirty or torn apart, the whole place wreaked of cigarettes, and after five seconds in our room my children and I were completely covered in flea and we had to stand In the parking lot and spray all of our stuff and ourselves before we could even go back into our vehicle. My children are traumatized and we’re crying and are now covered in bites all over their legs. This place should be condemned and torn down. The staff threatened to call the cops on my boyfriend for wanting a refund and we’re just terrible to deal with. Fortunately we got our money back and got the hell away from there as soon as we were able to. DO NOT AND I REAPEAT DO NIT EVER BOOK THIS HOTEL!!

Are you a fan of exploring abandoned buildings? Then this is the place for you! You won’t have to worry about locks on the building as there are none! Anyone can come join you while you walk down the creepy halls that have pulled-up carpet (don’t worry- they left the carpet padding to cushion your trek) . Overhead lights in common spaces? -Ha! You don’t need no stinkn’ lights! That’s for wimpy people who hate navigating left over construction materials.
The room we crashed in looked normal at first, but then we looked closer. Is that the remnants of a dropped strawberry Sunday on the floor- or a scene of a viscous crime with Strawberry Shortcake? We gathered further clues that the bathroom was clearly used but long since forgotten. Mold all around the tub and shower- broken pieces of the wall, a delicate dried-on splash of urine on the toilet seat. Yes, it seems whoever was here last left in a hurry.
As did we.
Can’t comment on the breakfast as we high-tailed it out of there in the morning.
There was only one redeeming feature- the kind and thoughtful person who checked us in. He was great

Worst ever. Very dangerous. Staff set up to enter through the back of the building along a trash strewn wooden path to get to our room. Building smelled like rotting corpses (not joking) broken down buildings all around it. A fight between two women was happening outside. We were scared our vehicle was going to be broken into. We hid out in our rooms with our children and were scared for our safety. The breakfast was a muffin with a ghetto sign saying one per guest and dry cereal. Do not stay here. Very unsafe.

The staff wasn't very friendly or happy to help. It seemed like we were inconveniencing the staff while in the breakfast area. The room was okay for cleanliness but the hotel as a whole was pretty dirty and smelled of cigarette smoke. The outside doors were not actually locked so safety was a bit of a concern. The breakfast was not ideal and we would have booked elsewhere had we known the breakfast would be less than desirable.

Wish I'd Booked Somewhere Else

Stay was disappointing. Staff seemed annoyed at request for more towels. Didnt pick up trash or change sheets. Room smelled musty, had to buy air freshener spray for the 5 night stay. First room they gave us had a broken AC so they had to move us to a different room. People seen in back of the hotel area were seemingly doing drugs. I'm not a particular person and most things I can simply accept and adapt but this stay was just disappointing. The pool was absolutely foul. At the time of my booking it said it had a hot tub, but it does not.

If you just need a cheap place to stay - it would work. We checked our vehicle a few times to make sure it was safe & it was. The pool said open but was not, ice machines did not work, the breakfast ran out when it ran out but the coffee was good. The neighbors had tons of people in room and were super noisy. They didn’t have an extra blanket when we asked “we’re all out.” Carpets smelled bad in all the hallways and staircases. The check in online was easy. Paid $83/night online - don’t expect much. We made it out alive and safe.

On top of all this, everyone in the hotel was very noisy. At 1am, there were dogs barking, banging, loud TVs, yelling, etc.

Equally disappointing is the FACT that the Portage police did nothing about it. The officer did not even check the children. JUST HORRIBLE ... I recommend this place to close down for good. And an investigation focusing around the Portage Police Department's policies and procedures dealing with child assault and battery, abuse.

Comfortable for business travel

I just want a clean and comfortable room when I travel - I don’t spend a lot of time in the room beyond bathing and sleeping. And this hotel gave me what I needed: a clean and comfortable room at a good price. Though the room did show some signs of age, it was kept up well and appeared to have been remodeled. As others noted, there is no closet to hang clothes - only a couple of hooks. But that was fine for my one night. Bed was comfortable and the breakfast simple, but sufficient to save me the time and money of eating out before my day’s activities.
