Cheap for a reason

The elevator was creepy. The hallway was extremely hot. The tiles were sticky, the carpet was moist, and there was no soap in the bathroom. There was no shampoo or conditioner either. We ended up driving home because I questioned the cleanliness of the beds.

The only item I didnt like at all was the horrible loud rock music you played in dining and bar area during my trying to eat my food with my fmily and friends in the evening hours.That type of loud ,insane music must be shut off during dining hours..It was not an enjoyable meal I had with that harsh loud music playing...

We like that the hotel has a restaurant on site. Although it is pricey, we didn't have to go out in the rain to find a place to eat dinner.

A fine stay as always.

Our stay was excellent, as it has been the previous several times we’ve been here. The hotel is clean and well-kept, and the town has a number of amenities within a few blocks walk.
