I worked in Hotel Industry for 7 yrs. No money is going back into this hotel. Front door and back door of room would not close properly. Plenty of parking around bld, but most was closed off making parking difficult with a $15/nightly fee.. Bathroom was filthy, bed was filthy with hair and dirty sheets, rug edge was filthy, and under beds was filthy. Not a good experience. Never again

Unhappy

Well to start, we arrived 10 minutes to 4. Check in is at 4 or after. Our room was not ready until 4:58. I don’t think we have ever checked into a hotel that late. They are usually ready much before hand. Wasn’t ideal because we have an adult special needs son who has trouble waiting, that’s why we thought for sure coming at 10 of 4 would work out well. The hotel is very outdated and on pretty poor condition. I know they told us it is being torn down at the end of the year but they should warn people. The room air conditioner was so loud and we couldn’t adjust it properly so our son did not sleep until nearly 4 AM. Needless to say, we forwent our second night and left. Since I bought the room on Hotels.com they could not reimburse me for any of it.

The smoke alarm went off in our room at 3:30 am. The hotel phone wasn’t hooked up so we could call the front desk so my husband had to go downstairs to the front desk. The clerk asked him if he took a stick to hit it and of course he wouldn’t do such a thing. She asked him did he pull it off the wall and we didn’t so she came up and pulled it off the wall. They replaced it the next day without any explanation as to why the smoke alarm sounded

The room was very dated looking and the mattresses were fairly uncomfortable. Looks like it hadn’t been renovated in many many years. The breakfast that was included was so bad that we had to go somewhere else to eat.

The location,staff,and complimentary breakfast were excellent. However on the other hand the motel is really outdated and needs a remodel. The paper was peeling off the bathroom walls and the whole hotel has an old hotel odor

Staff is incredible but that’s where the good stuff ends. Filthy rooms. Caked on dust on the cords and drapes. I get that this property will be torn down soon but either stop renting rooms or clean them. This property looks like a crack den.
