Front desk staff were great, but our room smelled very strongly of wet dog and cigarettes. Luckily we were only there for a quick stop overnight for the bills game. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone sensitive to scents.

Good Location, okay motel

Came to see the game. Hotel was basic and having to climb a flight of stairs was not ideal. Location is the main redeeming feature.

Housekeeping Unacceptable

The room was clean and the bed comfortable, however; the bathroom wasn't as clean as it needed to be considered acceptable. The toilet had fecal residue in the bowl and on the underside of the seat. The Tub/Shower and showerhead were old and faded but clean. There was hair on the bathroom floor and it was too long to be mine since I'm bald.
