Pros: Closer from downtown
Cons: Bad smell
Bugs
No bathroom fan
What isn't broken or unkept?
Pros: I liked how easy most of the staff was to work with after the second or third interaction.
Cons: There was mold in the bathroom, mildew, and the shower head was damaged. The door to the bathroom had no lock and could ONLY be opened from the outside. The bed creaked and sagged in ways I thought I'd break it if I moved too much. The ottoman had stains of something on it. Upon entering the room the entire room smelled like an ash tray and kept smelling like an ash tray each day we'd come back to it on our four day trip. The air conditioner was weak and loud. The carpet was poorly cut and obviously not properly laid out as you could see the concrete floor under it. There were cigarette holes in the carpet and bedding. The power outlets could not support the weight of my moderately sized phone charger. There was a 2 liter bottle of cherry 7up in the minifridge, half empty. For whatever reason they wanted identification of EVERY PERSON in the room. The wifi password was posted nowhere in the room, the tv didn't have very good reception, and there was an icebucket with no ice machine to be found. The persons around us made my fiance scared to go out alone at night and she would not stay in the room alone while I went to get food since the lock on the door did not always work.
0/10, do not recommend. There are cheaper hotels with higher standards in the town, better off chancing airbnb.
Good stay!
Pros: Clean, comfortable bed, and had everything we needed for our overnight stay.
Cons: There wasn't anything we didn't like.
Cons: Last minute booking through an app for $71. Got to the office and was told the charge on my card would only be $48. They were wrong and I was charged the full amount by expedia. Not refundable. Stayed in room 116 NS. Couldn't believe the condition of this room. The ceiling had holes and plaster falling on the floor. Shower looked like it had gone through 50 years of abuse. Turned on the water and it was brown for at least 4 minutes. This place should literally have been condemned in closed years ago. Do not stay here at any price!
Terrible stay
Pros: Location was good. Restaurant was close by and drive way convenient.
Cons: The size of the room was small and the bed was very hard and uncomfortable. Bathroom door would not stay closed and the water was set up Hot was cold and cold was Hot. Very out dated room all in all. I will never stay there again or recommend it to anyone.
We felt itchy!
Pros: The location was good, close to where we needed to be. The guy at the front desk was pleasant and accommodating
Cons: The carpet had a huge damp spot in the middle of the room. We felt itchy the next morning, and I had several bites on my back. This place needs work!
