This hotel is fine for a quick overnight for the budget minded traveler. Overall the property seemed quite run-down particularly the outside. The room seemed clean and the beds were comfortable. The breakfast was very minimal with very few items. The staff were friendly and helpful.

Our check in was fine. The accommodations were not. Our room was at the end of the hall. There were cigarette butts and a plastic knife in the hall outside. The room next to us had the lockset pried off. We had one, but the door had been attempted prior with the pry marks to show. Our non smoking room had ash and cob webs on the furniture and floor. The ice Machine was not working and propped against the wall at the entry. Christine moved us to a different room that smelled better, but pry marks and a neighbor door that had its lock set pried off were the same as the one we left. We did not feel safe. The carpet was worn and needed cleaning. We went out to eat and backed the car up against the bushes on return to help protect what was still in the vehicle. While our car had not been tampered with in the morning, the car parked across from us had two tires slashed and a window smashed. The accommodations resembled a flop house. With the deficits of this location and the ick factor, I would remove it from your offerings. The back building is the Econlodge and I connects to a nicely appointed Quality inn.

They did not receive our reservation before they gave it away. The room was very poor quality: old bed, furniture, smelled poorly. The staff person was not trained and was doing her best given the situation.

I booked this lodge for a 2 night stay. I didn’t even stay on site for more than 3 minutes. This place is FILTHY. From the check in area, to the foyer of the area of the lodge you’re staying in, to the room itself. The bathroom had hair all over it. Several again on both sets of bed sheets. Gritty carpet. I felt EXTREMELY unsafe. I looked in the hotel room and cancelled my reservation and booked down the street.

Stay elsewhere!

There was a Hole the wall & a large chunk of paint pealing off the. The roof was leaking in the hallway. A Continental breakfast is not dried out bread or english muffins for you to toast or dry cereal in my opinion.

Nice hotel

It’s an older building but it was clean. Hallway and outside area was well lit. Desk clerk was efficient and helpful. The free breakfast was good and gave us a good start to the day as we continued with our travels. Breakfast area was well stocked and clean.
