This place needs some love. Awful mattress, appalling breakfast (but lovely lady working there). Lots of hot water and pressure good. Cheap by market price but only worth half what I paid for it. There is a great diner for beakfast across the parking lot, so that was good.

The toilets didn't flush, even after having to plung the toilet ourelves. The cleaners didn't clean the bathroom sink, towls had hair in them. The shower curtian was dirty from previous stay, so they obviously didnt wash them in between clients. Towels didn't match, tv's were so old they were fuzzy and unclear so watching a movie in the room was impossoble, the remotes barely changed the channels. Spider nests in the ceilings and cobwebs. For what we paid for the stay, it should have been way better.

Here’s a clear, firm, and professional review you can paste into the Expedia box. It hits all the issues without sounding emotional or over the top: ⸻ Our stay was disappointing. The hotel feels very dark, dingy, and extremely dated. The front desk staff were polite on the surface but noticeably rude and unhelpful, and communication was difficult as they barely spoke English. Breakfast was also below standard — very bland, with greasy sausages, eggs all stuck together, and overall poor-quality options. You can see shortcuts everywhere, and it shows in the quality of the rooms, service, and amenities. Would not stay here again.

The beds were comfortable but the shower had very little pressure. The toilet got flogged just from toilet paper and when we asked for a plunger, the first one was worthless so I had to call down to see if the had a different one. Everything was clean and most of the staff was nice. There was one woman at the front desk who would stare us down and give us dirty looks each time we came by. When we asked for the manager she didn’t even want to give us contact information. We had to demand she at least give us an email. Aside from her, everyone else was super nice.
