Drive on- sleeping in your car would be FAR BETTER
Whatever you do, DO NOT STAY HERE! After entering our room, my husband had to repair the toliet to flush the stinking, hot urine down the toilet, as the float was disconnected, and there was no water in the bowl, just urine. With no air on in the room, (or halls or lobby) in 90 degree weather, everything STUNK! We contemplated losing the money and sleeping in the car. If not for the Blueberry Festival in Plymouth leaving every room (except the Astoria.....hmmmm) booked solid, we acturally drove to Plymouth just to see if there was a last minute cancellation ANYWHERE so we wouldnot have to sleep in this Nightmare Inn. So, with great fear, we went back, stripped the beds, found dead bugs in the bed, cigarette burns in the 20 year old dirty fleece blankets, stains of body fluids, even blood on the mattress, sheets, etc. We sprayed for bed bugs (I brought bed-bug spray) and we went to WalMart at 10pm to buy adequate pillows (the ones on the bed were at least 20 years old) and sheets and pillow cases and towels. We actually slept in there, and surprisingly didn't wake covered in bites. There are windows open to the street, (I was told screens are against the code) which is distressing. It looks like homeless folk or vermin can just crawl in. Our unit was missing the light fixture near the door and the elevator worked on Sat. night, but was broken on Sunday.Wallpaper peeling off walls, and mold on the walls. I won't even mention the owner- it was right out of a Wes Craven movie!

Go to Plymouth hotels(you will regret this one)
I thought maybe the reviews were wrong and this hotel maybe got better but just like every other review says, the pool was closed, there was no microwave or anything in room except small tv. our sheets had stains, water pressure was terrible in shower. We had problems checking in and guy at front desk treated us not too great. Told us to cancel online(they would have charged us 140 for that) and told me not to choose the option that said " hotel told me to cancel" bc it would mess with his commission. he lost our reservation then found it about 15 min into trying to check in.

Dump
This hotel should be condemned. Bugs in the room, towels are dirty, bed sheets haven't been washed and there is a big sign at the front desk that says no refunds which should have sent my alarm bells off. Expedia should quit doing business with this place

This place is a dump I suggest going another 20 miles and find some place else. The entire place was hot and dingy and the AC in the room barely worked.

Poor facilitie
I am disappointed that Expedia would have such a low class facility on their posting. It smelled, was dirty and we knew there was a problem when the parking lot only had 2 cars and one was a broken down fixture. The pool was closed, the room off of the lobby was full of junk and the curtain was open. In the elevator the floor was so sticky that my shoes stuck to the floor. This is the first time in a hotel that I actually looked for bed bugs. I don't' know what to look for, but I was sure they had to have critters in the bed. When we pulled the bed away from the wall, we selected the one that had the least filth to sleep in. Then I used my robe as my blanket and just laid on top of the comforter. I feel if I would have just stopped in that I could have gotten a better rate for the hotel.

Dirty rooms.
The rooms were dirty. The jacuzzi tub sprayed water straight up and out of the tub. We went to the desk to request towels and couldn't wake the desk guy up to get assistance. We will NOT stay here again.

No Refunds!
The hotel had a horrible smell when you walked in. You could tell they were doing renovations. The beds were OK but the pillows were like cotton balls stuck in a cases. The sheets had cigarette burns on them. The bathroom was decent it had been just updated. The problem is this is the only hotel for that area and it had a sign handwritten NO REFUNDS!

It was not very good. The bed linens looked like they had'nt been changed and there were stains on the pillow cases. Went down to get more linens and the desk clerk did not have any idea about them ended up with 2 fitted queen sheets ( it was a king bed ) and one king flat top sheet. Pool was not usable and the elevator did not work. Overall it was awful. We will not stay there again.

Very dirty and outdated hotel.
Long black hair on bed sheets. Pubic hairs on toilet. Old cracked lamp shades. 2 tv's, one old tube tv didn't work next to newer tv. We were there for out of town wedding, No iron. Very old and worn toilet seat. Indoor pool no working. Elevator felt and sounded like it was going collapse. When I told attendant about about my displeasure of room all he said was sorry. I will never stay at this hotel ever again!!! I can't believe Expedia has this hotel on the site!

Work trip
Tv didn't work. Temperature outside was low 90's and there was no working AC. Got maybe two hours of terrible sleep. Piles of junk filled entire pool area, which closed, probably from all the junk. Doors were open for all to see the room behind check in desk, which had the laundry machines(for hotel staff) and was also filled with stacks of junk. In the middle of the night my room was filled with the smell of marijuana from a next door room.

NEVER STAY HERE....
This hotel should not even be open for business ....the rooms do not get cleaned . When I attempted to chi in there were still dirty towels and the beds weren't made and the guy at the front desk refused to give us a refund ....he says we had to call hotels.com to get a refund . Hotels.com said that's not true . So the guy who apparently lives there , lied to us . AWFUL HOTEL!!!!!!

Do Not Stay Here!!!
The man at the front desk was asleep when I got there. I had to bang on the counter to wake him. My key did not work. Got another key. It did not work. Went back downstairs to get another one and the man was gone. He had gone to bed in a room he lives in. Finally found him. He let me in my room, so I was left without a key. The elevator was last inspected in 2010. I took the stairs! There are 6 channels on the TV and no WiFi. I was here for one night for work. It was terrible. I should have slept in the car. Do not stay here.

Don't stay at this hotel
I've stayed at worse hotels but not in this country. Western Africa comes to mind. Filthy, no amenities, no cable TV, I'm tempted to burn my clothes to make sure I don't bring bedbugs home. I was in the area to attend a funeral and stayed here because it was close. Bad decision. I'm told that the main clientele are migrants working the cornfields in the summer.
