We needed a place to sleep on our way to our destination and our needs were met. As someone who is sensitive to scents, the positive was that the room was scent free.

Checked in at 4pm. It took a while. The maintenance man was assisting at the front desk. He was very nice, but took him a while to get checked in. The room we walked into had not been cleaned. We then came back downstairs and were given a clean room.

They gave away my room

When we arrived I was informed that the room I had booked, almost 2 months in advance, was actually overbooked and someone was staying in the room I was supposed to have. This put me and my kids in a single king room versus the double queen so we did not have the number of beds we needed. The place as dirty and falling apart. Nothing like the pictures at all. Very dingy and gross.

The inside of the building and the building itself were tapped up very well. The rooms were beautiful, clean and seemingly newly remodeled. However, the ground the parking lot had humongous, potholes, overgrown, weeds, garbage laying all over the parking lot. That being said, the staff was great.

The hotel managers are great people. Very kind and overworked. They did their best to be accomodating to us. Place is in the middle of renovating. Room was clean but smelled moldy. Overall, we survived and it is because of the managers, dynamic duo.

This is a tired hotel in need of some serious upkeep. Our first assigned room had a broken AC unit; the system locks you out at 9 am instead of at 11 am checkout time, requiring you to have the key cards programmed again. The staff is friendly and is doing the best they can. Can’t recommend this hotel.
