Horrible conditions
Room and hotel was nasty. No breaskfast as advertised. Sheets were dirty. We were so tired and couldn’t find another place. I requested clean sheets and made the beds myself. Top cover had cigarette burns all over.

I didn’t actually get to stay here because my stay was cancelled. I would never have known until I showed up had I not called to inquire about check in times. They offered no help in getting us a room somewhere else and we ended up having to drive an hour and a half away to find a hotel. They were very apologetic but completely unhelpful.

The staff at this property are very nice and helpful. The building is in need of upgrades to weekly rooms. The nightly rooms are in much better condition. For someone just needing a room for a night or two, you can't go wrong here. The weekly rate is too much for outdated rooms. Overall the place was quiet and clean.

The lobby REEKED of cigarette smoke
I didn’t expect much due to the cost of the room but I did expect not to be assaulted by the intolerable odor of cigarettes as soon as I walked in. I had not realized this hotel also had smoking rooms available, otherwise I would not have chosen this particular place. Thankfully the room itself did not have that odor. Neither the bed nor the pillows were comfortable at all. I’m just glad it was a one night stay.

Disliked: Staff & service
One of the front desk ladies came and knocked on our door and asked if we were smoking pot because they could smell it coming down the hallway. We are not smokers of anything, not cigarettes and absolutely not marijuana. My husband even offered to let the woman come in to smell and check out the room, she said "that's ok, I believe you". My husband was pissed and highly offended that she would only stop at our door and ask that. I will never stay at that overpriced establishment again.

Reservation from Orbitz did not go through and another couple who came in behind me was turned away even though they had an Orbitz reservation. The staff talked about a resident who was smoking crack and climbing out of windows. Nobody was at the desk when I walked in and it took me more than 30 minutes to check in. Overall, this was a poor property and I will not stay there again.
