No working tv. No cable box,no remote nothing.
Only had 1 towel. Had to go to office to to get towels and washcloths. Bed was horrible. Mattress was so bad its been 3 days and my back is still hurting. No breakfast in morning. Not even coffee available.
From checkin in to our stay it was all horrible. The checkin process makes you feel like the area is unsafe and completed behind a glass door. The place is not well kept, our room was dirty, the tv rarely worked, the bathroom fan was filthy, rust everywhere in the bathroom, holes in the bathroom door and the door knob was falling off bathroom door. The beds and pillows are old and uncomfortable. Will not be staying here ever again.

Disliked: Amenities
Requested particular room type on reservation. Not available when we got there. Neighbor slammed door late and early shaking our room. Sink leaked into bucket on floor. Bathtub leaked all over floor. Coffee pot, no coffee or supplies. No drinking cups available. Didn't come in with high expectations, didn't get basics . Left after 1 night. No refund available.
I was disappointed from the begging. The host told me to stand at the window instead of inviting me into the lobby. Next, the door handle was broken and that was a delay to get someone to teach me to open the broken door. Btw, if the handle broken then who would feel safe.
Inside the room is in need of several repairs. The ceiling is peeling and falling, the tile is broken and missing pieces. The switch to the bathroom light and fan is broken and won't turn off so it ran constantly. Very noisy even with the door closed.
I rarely leave poor reviews but the broken door handle and broken light switch are both safety issues.
Watch YouTube videos to learn how to make these simple repairs.
Better luck in the future...!!

Not the best but Melinda made it worth the stay
Roaches in my room which smelled of weed so strongly that I had to leave the door open, the AC unit on high and the bathroom ventilation on for hours. Melinda was excellent as she provided a cleaning product that cleared the weed smell after being applied. A can of disinfectant helped as well. Melinda was always making sure to check if anything was needed during my stay. She also helped with getting my brother's room ready as it hadn't been completed when expected at 2:30.
A traveler's dream. Centrally located by Interstate, near restaurants and gas stations.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Well first of all I liked the first night there and the second night I had to change rooms flooded in the floors first night, and second night I paid for the discount through Expedia I was asked by the owner I assume if I wanted another room with smoking or non smoking, and I said it didn't matter to me so the second room was terrible old mattresses and lowest cover and pillows were lowsy no microwave no minne refrigerator etc and no coffee had to ask for it
This place must be shutting down because the owners have definitely given-up on the upkeep. I should have known when I checked in during the daytime and the lobby was not open. I had to check in at a window. The lobby was never open. This is a one-night stay and I almost left that same night. It was horrible!
Here is the bullet list of reasons:
> Weird smells. I brought in a scented candle to burn.
> No working heat and temps in low 40's that night (owner brought in a portable heater that night that did the job)
> Stained pillows & bed linens - you don't want details, trust me!
> Only 1 cheap flat standard pillow per Queen bed
> No extra blankets plus I really didn't want to use stained blanket on bed so I had to use a small fleece throw blanket i brought for a Christmas present.
> Two cheap thin towels and no hand towels at all.
> The only sink was clogged terribly with hair!
The only good thing was there was hot water when I took a shower and that was a welcomed blessing.
If I have to be in that area again, I'm not staying here or at any other hotel in the area.
I have stayed here 3 different times since Oct. The tv reception has been completed lost each stay. Even as I write this. Last stay during mid Oct. called desk. Was told out of their control.
