4/10 Fair

Dirty room and rude owner. WE CLEANED for 2 hours.
I am disabled and asked for a 1st floor room. Owner snapped no availability, but the parking lot was empty. Asked if he needed both vehicles info. Snaps, I'm not responsible for 2nd vehicle. Caught me off guard, normally no hotel is, but, I was concerned about him towing it. We walked in and it initially looked clean because it is tile floors and what looks like newer furniture. Unfortunately, it was not clean at all. I should have taken pics, but we were more concerned about cleaning. We left, went to Walmart to get cleaning supplies and spent almost 2 HOURS CLEANING. The bathroom was disgusting. I sprayed the walls with bathroom spray and the brown dirt just melted into the drain. Should have bought towels as some of them were so nasty. I seriously don't believe the room has been cleaned in years. The dirt was so bad. It even looked like there was blood on the bathroom wall. We went through more than an entire roll of paper towels. We didn't want to approach the owner as he was extremely rude from the start. Around 8pm that night, we were in bed relaxing before falling asleep and there's a loud knock at the door that scared us. It was the owner screaming at my husband that I needed to move my vehicle from the disabled parking. He said, she IS disabled, but he refused to listen and my husband grabbed my keys. I then walked out in my pj's argued with him, pointing out my handicap placard and my huge scars. He finally told us to leave it. Paid for 3 nights, left after 2.

Overall, very happy.
Overall, I was very happy with my stay. Things were clean and functional. The only drawback for me, personally, was the fact that the big fluffy lovely towels were heavily scented from scented laundry products. Not a good thing for those with chemical sensitivities. I couldn't use them.

Never stay here
When you can’t stay because of the hotel is not as expected. The reviews are manufactured and still have to pay, your system does not work for us.

Not a 8 score hotel as indicated on Hotel.com
The sheets smelled clean, but were very dingy looking (brown/yellow in color, supposed to be white).

These people cancel my reservation, got rid of my room. Didn't have any hot water at all. The people next to me kept going in and out of their room Slamming their car door slamming the hotel doors in clicking lock doors all night on their car.

DO NOT BOOK HERE!
Do not book your stay here!!! The manager was so rude from the second we checked in. He stated AFTER swiping my credit card that there was no hot water. He made it clear the water would be cold. So I assumed I would take a cold shower. Woke up and there was zero water at all. Not able to even wash your hands. I went to the front office at 10:00 am the next day and it was locked with no one in there. I have spoke with the manager on the phone to get a refund and he refuses and hangs up on your on the phone. The bed sheets were not cleaned and the mini fridge did not work either. Floors were gross and this is in a very sketchy area. Do not take the chance. I have spoke with the manager on the phone multiple times now and he has not been helpful

Fairly recently renovated facility
The room was large and renovated with modern amenities. It was pretty clean and very sufficient for a one night stay. Cons: Had to ring a bell to get door unlocked to get into office to check in. Ice machine broken.

Last minute one night stay!
My stay was pleasant. The management was very professional and was nice enough to give me the room number I requested, which was right in front of where I parked my car. Room was very clean. In fact, when I opened the room door, I smelled a strong odor of flowers! And this was 1130 pm. Needless to say, I was quite impressed. I proceeded to jump in the hot shower and off to sleep.
