I knew I was booking a budget hotel but this place had the highest rating of all the local hotels in the area. I have to admit I was skeptical but reserved it anyway. We got there and our nonsmoking room did not smell terrible with the air on but we had to walk through a smoke filled hallway to get there. The two bath towels were so thin they barely dried us after our shower. one of them was dirty. The shower curtain was also dorty. We had gone out and when we returned and were taking showers we didn’t want to have to get dressed and call the front desk. The room is uniquely furnished with a nice fridge and stove- however no ice bucket, nothing in the cabinets to use on the stove- no silverware, cookware- nothing to clean anything with. It really doesn’t make sense to have the amenities that you can’t use. The bed was not great- but again I wasn’t expecting super comfort. Overall I’d give it a 2 at best. I paid 120.00. The next night it was 49.00- go figure.
Inside of the shower curtain with pink toiletries squirted on it. The hotel doesn’t have pink anything.
The two coffees were both open.

There was no elevator. No dishes or silverware or anything in kitchenette to use it. No paper towels. No hot water for a shower. Beds were so tight in the room that you couldn't get in on the side by the wall. The towels were very thin. Very disappointing stay.

I probably would not stay here again unless there wasn't anything else available. Room was under 60 degrees when we entered, no blow dryer in the room, curtains are NOT daylight blocking but actually see-thru. Hotel definitely needs updating!
