Bathroom was nasty and moldy. Bed was extremely hard. Gave three pillows for two people. Staff were extremely nice though. I personally wouldn’t stay here agaim

Please - trust me - do not stay here. It was filthy - walls, shower, floors, bedding. Sink didn’t work and the bathroom ceiling was leaking. It actually felt unsafe.
1-night trip

6/10

Had an event nearby, so the location was near-perfect for a 1-night stay. Booked an inside room but still had to go outside and up outdoor stairs in drizzle to reach. I think elevator was out of order. Still has a covid-era setup with a tiny slot for your card/id. Not likely to stay there again 7-11 right next door, which we used for breakfast. Bed and room were OK. Staff was friendly

Paint peeling off ceiling and walls. Only 2 lights worked one being bathroom. Bathroom door frame looked like it has been kicked open several times and can see the splits in wood and all nails used to mend together.

Place is run down and old. Bathroom is disgusting sink water did not run down bathroom definitely needs a cleaning and painting for sure and door kept sticking. Towels and sheets did not look clean and white as should be. Never drag there again. Very disappointed.

I was disappointed in the condition of the room - it wasn't expected. For the cost very unexpected. This place needs upgrading and repairs, paint job, sheets weren't clean. It was beyond disgusting. It's hard to believe it's advertisement shows the rooms in tip top shape.

The old paint is chipping in the bathroom on one entire wall, and the tub is also chipped and dirty-looking. The key card did not work when I got back to the hotel late at night—I had to bang on the window to get someone to come out. The worker, Hush, was rude and obnoxious, blaming me for the card not working and being unable to open the door. Another manager came to help. Hush yelled at my friend and me and told us to go to another hotel. Very rude.

Everything is old and dirty. Dust everywhere. Booked a three night stay only stayed there for the first night due to wife having severe allergic reaction because of so much dust. Not sure what is going on there but would avoid at all cost.

Definitely wouldnt stay there again. The pictures will show why. Place just looked dirty. As soon as you walked in. Didnt feel comforting. Stains on the walls. Chair was dirty. Table was dusty. Chips and damaged walls. Ac unit barely worked, kept cutting off. Bathroom had mold in the shower. Blankets had holes & marks on them.

1-night trip

6/10

The front desk person was very polite and super nice but the smell was uncomfortable, as soon as we walked into the building it smelled like Marijuana and then our room did as well. I know nothing can be done about guests smoking but it was still unpleasant specially since we were going to a family event and had that odor on us.

1-night trip

6/10

Check-in and check-out was easy and fast but the room overall was alright. First impression of the room was that it stunk of cigarette smoke. Despite booking a smoking room, there was no effort to rid of the pungent cigarette smell in the room (we didn’t think we could literally smoke in the room, seems like a fire hazard). When I originally booked it, I thought it meant there would be an available balcony but this place is more of an inn than a hotel and the window would not open. The television remote didn’t work and overall the photos on the website are misleading. The room itself isn’t terrible but not what you expect after seeing the photos on the website. Overall, my partner and I went to the nearby convenience store to buy an air freshener to help with the stench of the room (with a bit of creativity the room was a bit more cozy) and if you are looking for a quick place to stay the night in a time crunch, this place will do the job.

Decently priced, convenient location. Their lobby/sitting area had a sign asking us not to sit on their furniture. A place to sleep but didn’t feel terribly welcomed.
3-night trip

2/10

The property used to be a nice local place to stay to be near my parents, but it has completely declined. Unless you're looking for a no-tell motel, stay elsewhere.
