Christopher

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
This was one of the worst places we have ever stayed. The room was filthy, and still had rubbish stuffed behind the locker from previous occupants. Curtains were full of holes and didn't close fully. Holes in the room door were filled with toilet paper. Carpet was covered in stains. The bed had only three tiny squares of material, about the thinkness of a towel, for pillows. The fridge had broken shelves, and congealed milk (I think) pooled in the bottom. The power outlet in the wash space had scorch marks. The bath was full of stains, cracks and scratches. The 'heater' in the bathroom didn't function fully on the the timer. At breakfast, there was no coffee available. The only food out was one cereal option, and some stale waffles - some of which were mouldy. The fridge with milk in felt warm inside. No staff were available at reception to raise any of these issues with. The only icemaker we could find was broken. We selected this place based on price, for a budget overnight stay while travelling. We weren't expecting luxury, but at least a basic level of cleanliness and function.

The hotel room itself was clean, but the beds were hard as rocks and the TV only had five cable channels, and they would still go in and out while you were watching it

The gentleman at the front desk was awesome. The room was good for sleeping. I rented 2 rooms and the TV didn’t work in either of them. No shampoo but there is conditioner. Walls are paper thin you could hear the people next to us all night. They advertise a breakfast in the morning but there was nothing made, 4 families waited but we left after 15 minutes of waiting. We went to the neighboring restaurant

Friendly but not clean

Unfortunately this hotel was not clean. There was hair in the bathroom sink, the sheets were not clean, and the overall condition of the room was poor. The door did not latch properly without considerable effort.

Old taco bell under the bed with food still inside. Beer bottle caps and trash under the dressers.couch had animal bite marks and torn fabric down the side. No coffee maker like listed in the photo. Only 1 room key was available they didnt have enough keys to give 2. Curtains had tears so they had to be moved for proper privacy and there was an active wasp nest 6+ in the stairway to our room. Breakfast was subpar toast with no butter or jelly coffee with no creamer and no lids.

If the owner doesn’t want to keep the property, better to get rid of it. Rooms: noisy, no shampoo/conditioner and not too clean too. There was hardly any breakfast though it was claimed that way. Coffee with no sugar and cream and some other frozen items. There was not a single staff either in the dining area nor the front desk.

I'm sure this place was nice in it's prime, the location is beautiful, but the property is worn down now and needs a remodel, everything was done in the cheapest way possible from the 2-ply toilet paper, to the pipes squeaking the whole time the water came out in the shower, to the TVs only having a few channels with extreme static, to advertizing free breakfast only to go down there and there was none. Nor was there an attendant at the desk to ask about it. It was fine to crash for a night, but def should be in the price range of a motel 6 or super 8 bc the quality just wasnt there. Granted, we only paid $109 but it was more of a $50-60 experience.
