The desk clerk was very rude. She said she didnt live in the area so couldnt help with breakfast options for the morning. When i called before arriving she told me i had to have an exact time of arrival. The room was great.

Filthy Rooms!!

Convent location for an early morning trip. Wanted to save myself from a long drive at 2 am so I stayed there. EXTREMELY FILTHY rooms. Bed wasn’t bad but the room being so disgusting made everything uncomfortable overall. I understand this is a cheap option in the area, I’m not too picky especially when I’m just looking for a decent few hours of sleep. Even being outdated and having things the water faucet broke wouldn’t bother me too much if they just took the time to actually clean the room. Good spots on the wall, not stains. Could easily be wiped down. Clearly dirty floors and floor boards that a quick mop could fix. For sure need to hire a cleaner.

The bed was comfortable and clean, however the rest of the room was unclean. The headboard looked to had not been cleaned in some time… there were oil spots from peoples heads. Dusting didn’t appear to be a priority as the light in the bathroom was encrusted with dirt/dust…Fridge had old food (ketchup) crusted. The fridge wanted to topple over (missing foot) Hair dryer had hair in it. No screen on window. Shutters were broken- missing adjustable rod. There was no plastic bag for ice bucket , and, the ice bucket had what appeared to be mold on the lid and stuck on food.

Just ok. We had extremely noisy neighbors. We were on the back side of the hotel where we had requested to be away from street noise, but it was a lot of construction guys staying there, as well as "employees rooms on the back side.

The room itself was nice, but the property felt kinda run-down and poorly-managed. I got there around 7pm and the front office was dark and nobody there. I rang the doorbell but no response. I had to call the office, and someone finally came out, I think they were busy doing laundry. Vending machine wouldn't take my quarters, there's no elevator which meant I had to lug my bike up the stairs, and half the rooms didn't have numbers on them and looked closed-off. Also, no breakfast was served the next morning. My room itself was clean, quiet, and comfortable, but the property felt like it's seen better days.
