Summary of reviews

Guests say
Most guests were extremely dissatisfied with the hotel's cleanliness, reporting dirty rooms, stained bedding, pests like cockroaches, and general disrepair. While a few reviews mentioned friendly or helpful staff and a convenient location, these positives were overshadowed by widespread complaints about maintenance, broken amenities, and poor hygiene. Some guests felt the price was fair for what was offered, but overall, the negative experiences far outweighed the positives, with many guests recommending to avoid the hotel.

Pros (+) This was so dirtiest place. The staff was super slow and unorganized. Didn’t even stay
Cons (-) This was an unsafe looking place. I left. Didn’t even stay. This place was for druggies. I left . I felt so unsafe. Don’t waste your money. No families or even women were present. The lobby hadnt been cleaned in years. The windows were broken in some rooms when we drove around. Super sketchy people were staying here. The staff was so unorganized. They keys were actuall keys and. It a card key. Did...

Pros (+) It's in a good area.
Cons (-) -Water went from freezing to scalding (made the shower a kind of fun russian roulette type situation) - The smoke detector went off for 15 min straight - Found another man's clothes in our room so we knew it wasn't clean - When my wife asked for help the guy behind the desk thought it was funny what had happened and apparently chuckled - When they sent a maid up to repair stuff (why) she didn't kn...

Pros (+) The staff was friendly. The building is old but they update the rooms. Room was clean.
Cons (-) The internet wouldn't connect. It even made it difficult to use your own data. The shower curtains were too short so when we showered the floor would be flooded.

Pros (+) We stayed here for a wedding weekend. It was very easy to check in, and the customer service was great. I booked it at first because it was pretty cheap, close enough to the venue, and I had the option to cancel the booking up until a day before. Very accessible rooms. The pool was right outside the room. The hot tub was nice as well. It was not the most modern place but it had character and just ...
Cons (-) Would love a vending machine with snacks and not just drinks for late night munchies. There is a jack in the box near by but we did not want to drive, and it only has drive through open. But we could have been more prepared with snacks beforehand. I think it could be a little cheaper for the condition of the place, but, they have to stay in business and they are probably competitive prices for the...
