I had to book this place as I was driving from Toronto Canada to Chicago. I decided to book this hotel becsusd my family and I needed a place to rest and continued our journey next morning. It felt like a horror movie. Starting from the receptionist It was very loud and unkind. He took my credit card way too long ehich ir makes me feel uncomfortable. Next the smell in the whole place is like a bar, cigarettes and Marijuana. Our room was quite dirty. The bathroom still had the soap for the previous guest and toilet paper in the garbage. The bed had hair on the pillows and even my son found toe nails in the sheets. In the morning we saw and video taped roaches in the bathroom and the dresser. I had to block the door withna big chair and a table because it was so loud around 2 am that I felt like someone is coming inside of our room to hurt us. Absolutely DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE. IN MY OPINION IS BETTER TO REST IN THE CAR ON A WALMART PARKING LOT.

The person who checked us in was wonderful. Other employees looked to be having a party out front. Cigarette butts were everywhere out front of the main doors. The hallways smelled of a mixture of mildew and smoke. The corners of the rooms were not clean and most every metal surface was pitted and rusty. I have stayed in far better hotels for much less money than this.

The room was dirty and had a moldy smell. We had to buy some Lysol to mask the smell. Updates definitely needed. I would never stay there again.

It’s a little old and run down, but it was clean and comfortable. It met our needs, and really can’t complain. We checked in at about 2am and the front desk clerk was extremely nice and informative. Breakfast was good but they seem to need more prep area, very busy, chaotic.

The check in gentleman was awesome. The woman working with him was also doing a good job but there was a male hovering around to talk to her-hanging out in the little store. It’s her place of work. The room was fair, blanket needs to be retired as it’s all pilly and had visible staining. All hotel common halls and stairways smell like marijuana these days due to vaping and this place did as well. The room was fine. Outlet didn’t work unless light was on(not helpful while sleeping) and the lights above bed didn’t work. Price was right and I can handle it but some easy fixes. Oh finally, the breakfast is cereal, toast and coffee which is fine but the employees were bickering in front of us and that was uncomfortable.

Friendly staff, aging facility
The room was plenty spacious and well-cleaned. The outside hallway had the lingering smell of cigarette smoke that they have tried to sanitize the best they could, but it's an old building. There was no smoke smell in the room itself, thankfully. The automatic light sensors in the bathroom need some work though. I couldn't get the fan to stay on. Again, old building that needs some work, but the check-in staff was friendly, we slept well, and the breakfast is adequate. Definitely a case where you get what you pay for.
