The rooms are very old and dirty. (Lobby is bright and clean). Towels thread bare with visible dirt when held to light. Smelly stuffy room. Thermostat missing from wall. Visible dust on all edges of stained old carpet. Several areas of mold/mildew on the walls and ceiling in the bathroom. Spiderwebs visible in the bathroom. Front desk somewhat friendly. Breakfast area clean.

Decent Hotel

The stay was good for the value. Room was small but was only me so it was ok. Bed comfortable but pillows were very uncomfortable. Close to many things.

Just what we needed

We had a great nights stay. The staff was helpful, the room clean, and the bed great. We left an item in the room and called to ask if they found it. While we need to call back tomorrow when the room is cleaned, the woman at the dest was helpful and understanding. I needed that and a stay at a nice hotel after experiencing a nightmare stay earlier in the week.

Disliked: Amenities
Hotel is a bit rundown, chipped paint, stains. The cleaning solvent was so strong when I walked in the room, what are they hiding? When I first went to my room, the key card didn’t work so I went back to the front desk and the receptionist told me “Oh, some of the handles you have to lift up to use” ummm why didn’t you tell me that before?

Quiet overnight

The young lady (Brea?) that checked us in was great. She was friendly, helpful and she never sat down as I was in and out for smoke breaks and saw her doing laundry, sweeping and washing the entrance and desk lobby area. I had difficulty getting in to the wifi and she put me on in my iPad. If I was a business owner, I’d hire her and make sure her wage was decent.
