While the staff was friendly and there was daily maid service, the room was dirty overall. The bathroom fixtures were in need of repair. In this case, it seemed like you get what you paid for. A cheap room

Great water pressure!

I could feel the springs in the mattress, but I slept pretty well. In fact I slept better than I have in “nicer” hotels with “better” mattresses. I was very pleasantly surprised with the EXCELLENT water pressure! The room was quiet, I slept well, and the water pressure in the shower was excellent! I found good value in this small hotel and would happily stay here again.

First room smelled liked poop. They were not happy to move us. Stairs were metal and felt shaky. Next morning went to have breakfast and there is none. Supposedly since Covid yet all sites where they are featured show free continental breakfast. Phone blinks off and on intermittently at all times. Breaking point was finding roach on bathtub second night. Next morning microwave, fridge, and tv stopped working. DO NOT Recommend.

The lady at the front desk was so friendly. The room is about what you expect for the more affordable price. Some bumps and bruises, but it was a place to stay while we were in town for family events.

Overnight stay

Low grade hotel room. Furniture old and scraped. fridge moved out of original cabinet, hole left where fridge should have been. Tub and shower fixture at least an inch from the wall, though water pressure was good and water was hot, which is the only good thing about the room.

The property has the ability to be a great place. The Location wasn't bad, but not the greatest. The suite we stayed in was clean, but had a leaky faucet and when you entered the foyer you could smell mold coming from the basement. The tile around the whirlpool tub needs some attention. The check-in woman was very nice. The stay was comfortable overall. For the price a person would expect better.

Never again

Light switch didn't work, tv volume stuck on loud, remote only controlled the channels. Clerk was friendly enough & offered to find a person to fix it, but being 8 at night I just wanted to sleep anyway. Woke up to see a large infestation of Asian beetles in the walls & ceiling. Where there's bugs, there's probably more. The bed was old & worn out.
