The property was old, outdated, and had poor Wi-Fi. If you only need a place to sleep, this is your place. Breakfast consisted only of cereal.

Smoke smell came thru vents and doors from other floors. And my door lock stopped working so once closed you could open it without the key card from the outside.

Trash
This hotel is in terrible hygienic conditions, there are cockroaches everywhere, stains on the linen and the smell throughout the hotel is unbearable. It will be ready for demolition at any time. I tried to get my money back and they didn't, they have no cancellation policy.

I would not recommend this hotel to anyone. Unfortunately this was the only hotel available for us. The room had a funny smell when we first walked in and not even 30 minutes after we got in there were roaches crawling. The floors in the room had not been swept or cleaned. The countertops were dirty. The smoke alarm started going off in the hotel at 1:30am while we were trying to sleep in already unnerving conditions… however the staff was really nice and apologized for all of this. They seemed like they would already expect this kind of review. This room was not worth the money we spent for 2 nights but it was our only option.

This place is absolutely disgusting and my family refused to sleep there! There were cigarette burns on both beds/comforters, cobwebs, blood on blankets, and clearly hadn’t been cleaned in no telling how long! This place would be the spot if you were looking for a place to take a hooker!!

You get what you pay for. It's am older hotel with a mix of updates and older fixtures. The staff were courteous and helpful. My room was clean and had an odd cleaner smell but not bad. The internet worked perfectly. It met my criteria and that's enough for me. Btw, the faucet in the bathroom leaks pretty bad. It needs new rubber bushings but replacing it makes more sense.

Nope 👎
I purchased our stay thru Hotels.com so, exhausted & at 11pm, waiting 30 minutes to get a key was VERY disheartening! I didn’t realize it was a smoking motel. Being put on the 1st floor (nonsmoking) turned out ok. Both bedspreads(?) were full of holes from burn marks & the sheets had some spots on them. All the pillow cases looked as if they’d already been slept on. Breakfast was juice, coffee, white bread, a few mini muffins, & a waffle maker. Perhaps that makes some people happy but it was the worst continental breakfast I’ve experienced. If you have very low expectations, stay there. Otherwise, find somewhere else to stay!

The vending machine for cold drinks did not accept money. Front desk clerk had to open it so you can get a drink out. THe snack machine was practically empty - not alot of choices available.
