Look Somewhere Else

This property was rated "Very Good" on Hotels.com but it was NOT! When we drove up to the place I thought it was abandoned because of the trashy looking parking lot and there is no such thing as landscape. Since I had prepaid I went ahead and went in. The place smelled clean and looked fairly well on the inside. We dropped our things off and headed out to visit family. When we got in late that evening and went to crawl into bed we found a massive hairball between the sheets. It was disgusting. It totally creeped me out and made me very skeptical of how clean the place really was. The front desk sent new sheets but I was really grossed out...and did not sleep very well. The next night when we returned to our room no one had come to our room to service it. Our dirty towels laid on the bathroom floor, the trash was still there, and our beds had not been made. I would absolutely NOT recommend this place. It was a very uncomfortable stay and I'm glad to be home after two long nights of little to no rest.

The rooms were very dusty and walls were not clean. I could tell that they were not washing down the coffee pot tray after each visitor cause they were very dusty with hair and thick lint on them. I understand the hotel is in highly dusty area however that should provoke the employees to clean even more thoroughly. The staff are great need the rooms to match the service provided by staff.

The room was suitable for one night. The staff was friendly. There were a few downsides. The pool was out of order which was unfortunate. The bed could’ve used more comfortable bedding. Also the toilet paper left in the bathroom was dirty

Don’t stay here

Upon arrival the building smelled of pot coming down the hall way. Cigarette butts on the ground out front of the lobby and in the snow. the door to the bathroom was blocked so it could not open all the way by the shower rod that was bowed out. there were fire hot cheetos on the ground and on the desk from the first before us. The front desk called our room asking us too keep it down because we were keeping up our neighbors. We were not making any noise but one neighbor had his TV up so loud and the other had their music up just as loud. We let the front desk know it wasn’t us. the music and TV did turn down blur around 1 am went back up. our TV had no instructions and we had to figure out on our own that we had to punch in the channel numbers in a particular pattern in order to change the channel. If your tempo was off in the slightest we had to start over again. We chose to go to bed.

The staff were great and the room was as advertised. Although a non smoking room, there was a cigarette smell inside which I let the hotel staff know about it and the smell dissipated after some time. This is an economical hotel and a good value for what it is

Find another place to stay

Stayed 1 night on a long road trip. Booked a non smoking room, was given a smoking upon check in. The whole hotel smells very strongly of chemicals and air fresheners, probably in an attempt to cover the cigarette smell. There is no elevator and most rooms are on the 2nd floor. There were no towels in my room. Another guest’s dog was barking at 2am. In the morning I went to use the coffee maker and there were no cups. Seems like this place is run by a skeleton crew and doesn’t have actual housekeepers, and it shows. Hotel breakfast was a joke, there was only gravy and a few potatoes left at 7:45. And two vending machines. Finally got some coffee but they didn’t even have lids! I was so eager to get out of this place I made a run for it with my coffee sloshing all the way through the parking lot. There are no signs for this hotel from the road, only a very small banner on the building. Road to the hotel needed to be plowed. Very old building, absolute bare bones.

Room was excellent size and decor is current. Did find two things on the bathroom floor, so housekeeper must have been in a hurry - but otherwise the room was clean and very spacious.
