This is not a good hotel, firstly the cost of a room is way too high for the quality. When we got in the room one of the lamps didn't work, the tv box wasnt set up, there is visible dust on most of the appliances, furniture, and vents. There was only one set of bathroom amenities for 2 people. I had asked for an extra towel before we went to the state fair. When we got back to the room there was still no towel and I asked again and it took a further 30 min to get my towel so i could take a shower.lastly probably the worst part is there were so many bugs in the room. The only good parts of this hotel is the convenience of the distance from the state fair and the staff was respectful. Would not recommend for a stay.

The towels were ßtained the bed look like someone had already slept in it the pillows were stained and real old. If I was dieing and this was the only place to stay I would rather sleep in the street. I would not recommend this place to anyone. You know the saying you get what u pay for.

I had room 106. The first bed whatever they use to hold it up was broken. All night the bed kept moving around i almost fell out. There were no towel holders. Both beds top sheet possibly comforter had several burnt cigarettes holes as we were told people are to smoke outside. If you can't handle smoking smells like we could not do not go here. They can smoke outside right next to your door. We had 2 nights here and I will not pick this place next time.

The lady that runs and cleans, is rude. Believe there were bed bugs. It was a little loud with people up all night in the parking lot. The toilet wouldn't flush because the tank wouldn't fill.

I chose this because it was the cheapest option. I did not expect much, but the room looked like there'd been no updates on the room (aside from DIY repairs) since the 70s. It looked very dirty in the bathroom (where there is no counter) with mold on the walls (likely because there was no bathroom fan. Also, paprr thin walls and venting lets you hear EVERYTHING nearby. If it was a little more private and clean, this place would be awesome.

The property is an old style motel, with rooms arranged around a parking area in the shape of a C. The rooms are heated by a wall mounted heating and air conditioning unit. My room was cold when I arrived (early February) as if the heat had not been maintained recently, and it took all evening and all night for the room to warm up, with the setting on 78 degrees. Although the room had ducts in the floor for HVAC, it was apparently not functional. Better to stay here in the spring and fall.

Never again

Worst hotel I ever stayed in. On checkin I told lady I had an online order. Was treated like I had came in for a room. Charged $20 more than what I agreed to. The heat sucked and was off when I arrived even though the temperature was 24 degrees. Sheets had cigarette burns in them. Couldn't lock bathroom door and it wouldn't stay shut so if I was going to the bathroom and you were outside you could see everything.
