The room was so dirty. The carpet needs to be cleaned. Dirty behind end tables, bed, desk. Bathroom was ok but could tell it needed vacuumed. Space under the door. Overall it was terribly dirty.

When we arrived the room wasn’t even clean. Beds were not made, there was a super weird bike sitting in the hall and every time we walked by a guy would creep out his window. Definitely not the safest place to stay!

We were in town for a dance weekend. This place is all we are looking for. It was easy to drive to and from venue. The room was clean, truly non smoking. Needs some areas of fixing, but nothing that was an inconvenience. Breakfast was simple, and good. Located next to shopping and eating places. The price was good. Safe place.

No Thanks

Wasnt impressed with anything. Not as clean as I would prefer. Heater made noises, would rather not use. Breakfast lacking: 2 cereals, toast, yogurt, watery gross looking pancake mix. Lid for coffee cups are too small to fit. Shampoo and conditioner samples mustve been half empty bc they were used prior to us. Wash cloth smelled. Would've been fine if it was a $50 night place to stay just to try to sleep somewhere for a minute.

The staff was okay when it came to friendliness. Breakfast was less than desirable. Waffles or cereal. No protein, no yogurt although the sign on the refrigerator clearly said " milk and yogurt". When asked about yogurt the person in charge of the dining room played dumb while wrapped up in a blanket in the lobby. But. You get what you pay for - cheap room no amenities.

This was the worst place I have ever stayed. The heat was set at 62 but it was over 85 in our room and it stopped working all together. No towels, no coffee, coffee pot missing pieces, not clean at all and they didn't care at all.

Run down place with cheap management

Dirty worn out room. Head hair and pubic hair in the tub and bathroom. No pancake mix or milk or hot water for oatmeal. Juice was watered down. Management refused to bring out any more milk. It's a cheap place but you get what you pay for. Be prepared.
