Elva at the front desk was wonderful and very kind. She went above and beyond to make our stay good. She also helped a friend of ours with the same kindness. Also the young man in the breakfast room was great, but I don't know his name. We will stay there again in the future.

Malpropreté

Toilette bouchée, chambre malpropre, lit couinait! On a payé un surplus pour changer de chambre qui était un peu mieux! Le déjeuner compris, il y avait que des rôties pain blanc ( que l’employé a manipulé avec ses mains sans les laver et sans gants), il y avait des céréales mais fallait demander pour du lait. Environnant malpropre partout dans l’hôtel) Résultat plus jamais cet hôtel

OLD, rundown and dirty! Watch out!

This hotel is so run down and not maintained. The check was very busy and every person including myself had to come back to the lobby at least twice to get their room keys to work correctly. it made for a very long check in process. Some of the photos below show how the property owners ignore regular maintenance and how run down the building is. The sheets had stains on them the main door to the room when closed has a one inch gap at the top. The bathroom door would close it hit the floor. their were cigarette burns on the sink and tub.The room had a musty smell, the floor was dirty in the room. The out side railings from the lobby to the parking lot are rusted out on the bottom and falling apart. I could go on and on. Bottom line i didn't feel safe staying at this hotel. For the $156 charge for one night they should have paid me to stay there. Never again.
Dirty old room phone not hooked up
tv remote missing battery cover
main room door gap at the top lets air noise and light in from the hallway.
bath door doesn't close
