My daughter, sister & I showed up 6:30pm to check in and a raucous group of young men were drinking, smoking, shouting & cat calling. We asked for a room far away but the group was so loud, we could still hear them. The lock on the door was not secure and our room had a connecting door to another room with no way to lock from our side. We did not feel safe. But the management would not let us cancel without forfeiting cost of room. The management did not offer to talk to the partying men nor move us to a room without a connecting door. I cannot believe they refused to address the offending group and expected three women to just stay in clearly unsafe circumstances. At 7pm promptly we and our concerns were dismissed because they office needed to close.

Very convenient property. Frames were clean bedding is grey except for the pillows. It wouldn’t hurt for them to go to the local Kmart store and spend some money on some decent pillows. Apart from that enjoyed the day although was charged a random eight dollar fee that I have absolutely no idea what it is for.

The hotel advertises high-speed Wi-Fi and air conditioning in the rooms, but neither lived up to the promise. The Wi-Fi didn’t work in our room at all, which was a major problem for us as travelers without a cell plan who needed to make bookings for our trip. The air conditioning was equally frustrating—a small, outdated wall-mounted unit that shut off every six minutes. This left the room uncomfortably hot and kept us awake all night as I repeatedly had to turn it back on to get minimal relief. For $200 a night, this is absolutely unacceptable. It was, without a doubt, the worst hotel room I’ve ever stayed in. How this place is rated 8.4/10 is beyond me. To make matters worse, the location is incredibly inconvenient. There’s nothing nearby—just a gas station 15 minutes away by foot for snacks, and we couldn’t find any where near by with public wifi. It seemed like some rooms had proper window AC units, so maybe we were given one of their worst rooms, but the experience was honestly a joke. I wouldn’t recommend staying here to anyone.
