All good, affordable, great location, comfortable beds, The only downside is that it was probably not no-smoking before and has not been renovated since - so for a non-smoker - the smell is there.

For the price, the hotel was okay. The hallways smelled bad and in definite need for updates. There were stains on my comforter as well. The price reflected the condition.

Not satisfied

we asked for a non smoking room, once we arrived in the room. It smelled of smoke and had a real bad musty smell. The moisture and musty smell was irritating my wifes lungs and causing deep coughing. After 2 hours of trying to adapt, we couldn’t take the air environment of decided to check out and leave. Please refund our money!!!

I prepaid on Expedia, and they did not let me stay unless I paid more money. I had to drive 4 1/2 hours home and lost my vacation and the $ for two nights.

Staff was very friendly and the room was reasonably priced. Was very clean, but the bedspread had holes in it. When I flushed the toilet, I noticed a small leak. I reported this to the front desk. I wasn’t offered another room, but I’ll take my share of the blame for not asking for one. She did apologize however, and I was pretty understanding as these things do happen. Hopefully the issues get resolved.

Checked out the breakfast one day. Only coffee, and cereal available. Poor continental breakfast. Smoke detector missing. Light plug was right behind top mattress, that should be a fire hazard. I was keeping my aluminum cans, and they took them the one day I asked them to clean the room, and they did even clean the bathroom.

Room was dirty, tin foil over smoke detector, no sprinklers, cigarette burns on comforters, sheets appeared not clean, dirty under mattress, heating/cooling unit along with other item were unplugged, lamps missing bulbs, bathtub had hair in it and there was a foul odor in the room. Had to leave hotel due to how filthy it appeared. Told by staff it has been very busy, which is not an excuse.

There was dog hair and what looked like human hair all over the sheets, pillows and pillow cases. The room was run down, things were broken and it smelt like wet dog. When asked for new linens/pillows the staff was kind enough to provide a hair free pillow and pillow case.

Bathroom was dirty. Hair all over tub toilet and floor. There was a post-it note with the wifi password on the floor when we arrived from the last person making me think they didn’t vacuum… went for breakfast at 8 (supposed to end at 9) and had everything put away and taken apart. Couldn’t even get a glass of juice because they were already cleaning the machine. Went to talk to the front desk and no one was there. There was a note that said they’d be back in 10-15 min with a number to call for assistance. Wasn’t able to call the number from hotel phone… waited almost an hour and noone showed up so we just left.
