It's a very average, no-frills hotel. It did have a slight mold/mildew smell in the room. It was a convenient location for where we were going.

Very friendly staff, very comfortable bed. However a very heavy smoker odor was terrible. Very spacious room, Furnishings were old and unattractive but mainly it was the odor that was unpleasant.

Extremely friendly staff both when we checked in and out, and the room was cute & very clean. The bed wasn’t the most comfortable, but they had a shower head to accomodate my six feet, so that was a plus.

Do not trust online pictures! Convenient location.
We booked a two night stay online. I was disappointed, the pictures I saw online were very nice and made the room and décor look a lot nicer and newer than it was in person. The whole room could definitely do with an update, including the bathroom and sink area. The sink was located outside of the bathroom which was a plus since we had three adults staying in the one room. The beds were full/double sized, not queen, so also smaller than expected. However, the location was very convenient and there were lots of shops as well as multiple food options located nearby.

The hotel has signs that say they are under renovations, but I believe they use those as an excuse to allow them to cut corners. Our room seemed like it had not been cleaned. From the moment we opened the door there was a strong musky odor, and even though our room had a “no smoking” sign it smelled as though someone had at some point. There was a welcome mat and another little mat by the foot of the bed, both looked extremely dirty and/or worn out. The laminate floors felt greasy under our shoes when we first walked in. We then went to close the curtain to get settled and noticed many stains on them and then right below the window the AC unit was extremely dusty. The light switches had old dirt crusted. The bathroom shower head had pink mold residue and a black ring around it. The pink shower had white mildew stains and the shower curtain also was not clean, the walls were dirty the corners/floorboards, dirty, the light fixture had hair on it and a layer of dust, and the headboard also had a layer of dust, we took a disinfectant wipe to it and when we finished it was grey and light brown of dirt. There were not enough towels, not that we wanted to use or touch anything at this point. We were from out of state for a wedding and booked here as it was close to the venue and other places were sold out, so we went to a local Walmart, purchased a sheet set, pillows, and towels. I will never stay there again and will tell others to stay away. Room 221 was unacceptable.

We had a newer room which was very nice and clean. It had a kitchenette also. My only complaint was lack of mirrors! Getting ready for a wedding I only had the bathroom vanity mirror so it was impossible to check how I looked. Otherwise for the money it was good and the employee at the front desk was super friendly and helpful.

It was just a quick one night, but the rooms smelled like cigarettes. The man at the desk was great - very accommodating and helpful, property was fine for a one night stay, just wish it didn't smell.
