Honestly the only nice thing about this place is the chandelier in the entrence of the hotel. Its so dirty our beds where covered in dirt and little rocks all over the beds the pool is sooo grimmy looking n the water is freezing. When we had breakfast we was told we cant take food or drinks back to our room... even though we have a fridge and micerwave. There was no lock on the inside just the keycard lock. The toilet would hardly even flush either. I also think i got lice because my hair and body have been itching non stop since night one at the hotel. We will never return thats for sure. The. We checked out early and cleaned the room. We got called at 11 being told to check out... we already did that. Then they said they would look at the room n see if we would get the deposit back. I still havnt gotten it back n we left that room clean didnt break nothing and still no refund. Worst place eeeeever
Everything about this place is just ok it’s not bad it’s not great the rooms are clean and bug free but it was not like I was spending a lot of money on it and they have a better place then most places I have gone to and paid more on.

It needs updated.
The person at desk was talking to another employee for several minutes and it took forever to get help. Overall the place was clean but it hasnt had well upkeep though. The outside reminds me of a place no longer in business. It was cheap and was good enough to lay my head for a night.
The service was great but as soon I got to the room most of the lights didn't work or just didn't have bulbs there was 4 pills on the floor. The toilet wouldn't flush and the sink wouldn't drain. The molding around the room was hanging off. Nothing like the photos when booking very disappointing.
Prior to booking I called and verified the pool was open an would be available Jan. 3rd & 4th and that guests were welcome to join in the lobby. At arrival, pool was green, an the entire place filthy. I couldn't even see myself in the mirror of my room! Nasty toilet! I arrived very late after a long trip in the car during the resent snow storm. I stayed that night due to exhaustion, but immediately addressed the staff regarding these issues. I was immediately assured I would not be getting a refund and that I'd still have to pay for the 4 th regardless if I stay or not as it was too late to cancel. This place doesn't even get a whole star!
Worst hotel. No locked doors on outside. Dirty everywhere in halls. Photoshopped picutres if outside.
Just gross. Would never book here if you care about safety
