Property is hard to find because it's on a back road that isn't listed on gps. It needs updating. It was fairly clean, but the beds were extremely hard, and the common areas were very hot. Staff said the air conditioner was out.

Disappointing hotel stay

They were renovating the hotel which really needed it. But we were put in a room that was half competed. It looked pretty at first but it wasn’t cleaned properly from the last occupant. The new floors were already dirty looking. The toilet hadn’t changed to a new one and the tub was rusty around the edges.

This property shows a lack of management. The managers need to spend more time inspecting rooms. Our first night, in the bathroom the ceiling was cracked, moldy, and falling down; the fridge didn’t work, and leg was broken off; the smoke detector chirped every 10 seconds; the gap between the floor and door that led to another room was so big we could see peoples feet as the walked in their room. This hotel could be nice but in it’s current condition and with the lack of management care, I would not stay there again.

You get what you pay for

You absolutely get what you pay for. We paid $100 for two queen size beds. Bathroom was absolutely dated/unkept and dirty. Furniture in main area was dirty and surfaces were not properly cleaned.

So gross

This place is soooo gross. Our room didn’t have a comforter, shower curtain, coffee maker, dirty non-swept floors, flickering light in bathroom, overall disgusting. We were put in a different room that wasn’t much better. For the price go somewhere else!!!

I should have heeded the warnings of the other reviews. It smelled like "natural herbs" as soon as i walked in. I know you can't control who your guests are but i think the hotel and area attracts a certain type. I felt like i was at a halfway house.

No bugs but very dirty

Building and room was very dirty. Service was ok, only one staff member seemed moody all other staff were very friendly. Not a terrible experience but probably won't choose this hotel during future trips due to the lack of cleanliness. I had photos to upload but it won't let me add them.

No hot water from the shower because it wasn't installed correctly, plenty hot from sink. Couldn't take showers for the gymnastics meet. Indoor pool was closed, which was main reason we chose this location.
