Creepy vibe

We had booked 2 rooms. When I went to go to the room I was sharing with 94 yr old mother we were directed to the rear of the property. The first thing I noticed was that there was someone living in the room nextdoor and several others. The room itself stunk of smoke and dingyness . There were patches of paint missing on the walls anda general sense of being frayed ,dirty and dingy. I didn't like the overall "vibe" of the room especially given the full time residence status of the room nextdoor. There was a scooter and a large trash bag outside the door and a sense of dischevelment. Creepy vibe. When I asked for a different room I was told there weren't any other rooms and given a refund but a refund wasn't offered to me relatives traveling with me who had also booked a room so we were separated when I had to seek other arrangements

Great place for an overnight stay.

This was an overnight stop so that I and my friend did not have to leave our hometown at 0400 to be at a training seminar by 0700. This business was chosen for it's location to numerous areas we visit and budget friendly cost. The building is old, but updated with modern security conveniences. One noted issue is that in our room, multiple electrical outlets would not hold a cell phone charger.

The carpet was badly stained, the bedspread had stains on it, the refrigerator made a noise intermittently, there were patches on the wall that needed paiting, and there were areas that were not clean (the hair dryer, the inside of the front door). The room needs maintenance.

This is a budget room. I was aware of that going into it. I did not expect much. The room was what you would expect for a budget room. However, the entire property, including heavily in my room, absolutely stunk of cigarette smoke. It was everywhere. In the sheets, on the pillows, when the AC would blow. It made it very hard to sleep as the room was suffocating of smoke smell, and was definitely not good for a guest with asthma like myself. The rooms are listed as non-smoking, but clearly people chain smoke in these rooms and the smell is imbedded into everything. I would say spend the extra $20-$30 and go elsewhere. It’ll be more comfortable with fresh air.
