The room was very large and bed was comfortable. Great value for the price we paid (had a couch, kitchenette) but the room was very, very old and needed a lot of TLC. Ceiling looked like water damage, holes in walls, carpet worn. We are not super fussy, as long as it doesn't smell and bed is comfortable. Needed a coffee maker & TV by couch to make it better - or at least coffee in lobby.

Nice but no coffee

The room was nice and clean and we were given access before check-in time. A big negative was no coffee anywhere for guests.

It's Okay for a brief stay.

The front desk called me twice the morning of my check-in to see what time I was arriving. The front desk also called me the morning of my check-out to make sure we were leaving on time, which was excessive. Also, the rooms did not have irons or ironing boards. When I contacted the front desk for them, they refused to bring it to my room and said I had to come down and collect it.

The rule size was good but everything was outdated or improperly repaired. The door to the room was hard to open and close. Numerous broken tiles on the floor. The rug was outdated and very old. Overall it just did not seem like maintenance is properly kept up. Handicap spots out in front of the building do not have a ramp immediately in front of them. You have to go down the line of parking spots until about the 6th or 7th spot until there is somewhat of a rant and even then the ramp has a big lip on the front of it

My Husband and I have stayed at the Gold Star Inn since back in the days when it was the Econolodge. The Suites have 2 huge rooms, a very comfortable bed, a full size refrigerator (we bring lots of frozen food, so, the fridge is very important), and the price is right!

Gross

I would have done zero stars if it were an option. Dirty, holes in walls, smelly, and my mom even contracted COVID while there... not sure if that is related to the facility... location is awful. Actually left one day early loosing 100$ but just felt like it was a better call than one more night there!

Needs A Lot of Upgrades

The check-in was good. We had a hard time getting the room key to work. I think its time to upgrade the locks. The AC unit was falling off the wall, the shower curtain was moldy, that's disgusting! The place needs an upgrade. I understand if you don't want to do breakfast but maybe just some coffee would be nice. Won't be stayong again.

Trying to Update

While it looks like they are trying to make some changes, the smell of stale cigarettes was so strong. Our room was large but the bathroom had dirty floors, bedspread was spotted with bleach and the room didn't have a coffee maker.

Good for the price

Smells very heavily of cigarettes throughout (even in nonsmoking rooms). Spacious room but AC is only in bedroom, bathroom was cramped, and bed was uncomfortable.
