I would recommend for the complimentary breakfast to have microwaveable bowls available for the oatmeal instead of only providing styrofoam bowls bc they melt in the microwave. How else could we make the oatmeal you provided without the correct bowls. Also, would be better if the breakfast provided something cold to drink like orange juice or apple juice instead of only hot coffee.

Definitely a workmen's' motel. The refrigerator was frozen over and towels stuffed inside. Useless. Other minor issues such a loose toilet set and missing moulding off the dresser top.

Great place will definitely book again.

Staff made accommodations from two queens to a king size. Room was clean. Staff was nice gave us extra towels, and we needed them.We did not want to be bugged by room service.So they didn't come to clean the room.While we were there hibernating and enjoying the hotel room. The only thing was the room was hot for me.First got in there, took about an hour in twenty minutes to cool down the entire room

Safety was a concern as there were people who appeared to be on some type of drug sleeping on the floor outside of our door. The room itself was not cleanly, and all of the furniture was outdated and poor condition. Staff was sketchy caught them in multiple lies very seedy and sketchy business.

The hotel was older that on the pictures on line. The rooms were not pleasing to see plus the linen on the beds had human hairs and the light fixtures to the bathroom did not work. We were given another room and I was hoping that it would be different but, it was the same. The linen was dirty and there were stains in each bed. I was so disappointed and the front desks did not have other extra rooms.

Did not look like the pictures. Charged me to $92, $1 & then full price for the two night stay. I did the “convenient link” for speedy and easy checkout and requested later complimentary check out and was denied unless I paid. There was fighting and disturbances and called front desk and they did nothing about it. Went on from 1:40-4am
