The room was terrible. The bathroom was barely clean and appeared to have mold growing. The sheets were visibly dirty and the floors were not clean either. There were also roaches. I would not recommend this hotel AT ALL.

Stay far away.
This was the worst hotel room I have ever had. Nothing worked. The TV,.no plugs, the air conditioners was like being in a jet engine. The front desk guy was unbelievably rude and would not answer questions or even speak to me only my husband. He left right after we checked in and could not get a hold of him.

Rooms were clean but basic. Beds and pillows not super comfortable. It was a great location and front desk attendant was wonderful. No hair dryer or iron. Pool is small and does not look inviting. Booked last minute and town was sold out so it served its purpose.

The room could’ve been nice but there were several things where a score of 2 or 3 really seals it. Check in was pleasant but if I show the pictures you’d get what I mean. The tub was filthy I could not get into it and the paint job was bad. The bed was clean and a bit hard but sleep capable.

There was a bug in the bed when we woke up in the morning. It bit my daughter all over her back. I told the front desk and show him a video of the bug crawling in the bed. He proceeded to tell me that the hotel was remodeled 2 yrs ago and that he has never seen any bug since then. This is my second time staying here. First time it was ok but this second time was horrible.

Great location but in poor condition
This is a run down hotel in the best downtown location. We had to switch out our room due to a broken bed and noise above. When we got the new room the fridge, microwave and tv didn’t work🙄- the only great thing about the place was the excellent staff service which apologized for the state of ill repair.

The staff at the front desk were not friendly or professional even rude to their employees. Our TV stopped working and we went to the front desk to notify them at the beginning of the AM and get the tv working again did nothing but the older gentleman who was taking care of everything maybe maintenance man was the one who took his time to fix the tv

One of the two beds was broken. God knows what splattered on the walls in the bathroom that someone maybe swiped at to clean, but it smelled bad and I just didn’t touch anything. I just slept and left.

This hotel is really not good. I'd advise to not stay here. We were in town during a busy time and this was one of the last rooms we could find in the area. The bed was so loud and uncomfortable. You could hear and feel the old school springs creaking loudly every time you moved an inch. The TV remote was coated in grime. There was a weird smell in the room. Pros: It was cheap. It didn't feel unsafe, at least. They have big lights in the parking lot to deter car break-ins. Reserved a non smoking room and it didn't smell like smoke. Very easy walking distance to tons of good restaurants. Breakfast diner was great just a block away. Cons: Everything else Loud, hard, uncomfortable beds Dirty Room smelled musty Non working lamp on desk Towels were threadbare and scratchy

The place was not clean. Dead bugs on the floors, hair in the sink, stains on the sheets, etc. We really didnt feel comfortable in the room at all. Service at the front desk was pleasant and helpful at check in and that is about the only good feedback I can give. The room is very dilapidated and needs some serious work done to bring it back to standards.

Like the remodel. Comfortable bed. But the bad… floors were sticky, the drapes looked like bodily fluid were on them. Bathroom clean but towels were stained and cheap-understandable for cheapness but not cleanliness
