Rooms were clean, the rooms were older but the staff has been updating them. I would classify this as a retro hotel. Pricing was wonderful, location was perfect. There is housekeeping and they come 1x a day take out trash, dust, vacuum and swap towels. They do not change your sheets. The staff was extremely nice and accommodating. I was concerned with the mix of good and bad reviews but after being there with a few family members with a few different rooms, it's a great choice for a budget.

We changed 3 different rooms in just 1 day! The first room was on the very far end of the 2nd floor. Very dark and the furnitures were like in the 50's. Smelly! The 2nd room has broken bathroom door broken; i can't close and lock it. The front door where the chain was connected to the trim came off and fell on the floor. It looks like someone push it hard from the outside that the door trim got busted. This concerned me very much. All night long people above us kept on stomping their feet. Walking all night long. We were not able to sleep. To make matter worst, 5 am they turned the music on so loud! I couldn't call the front desk afraid of retaliation. (if you can call it a front desk. A small window with a glass and a bar. I guess for their own security). The following day before the check out, I complained and demanded my remaining 2 nights to be refunded. Fortunately, they did. The place is so run down, Disgusting! I don't believe there are other costumers checked in. Very few cars parked at the parking lot. It makes me wonder how this place still in business.

Good place to stay for the price.

The room was clean and the check in was very simple and easy. The room needs little update,but it serves it's purpose. Very close to the Great Lakes RTC.
