We were expecting a hotel, this was a run down two story roadside place. Felt like we should pay by the hour. It was more expensive than actually decent hotels weve stayed in. Breakfast was the most minimal excuse for food. Hotel room was dirty, fixtures didnt work and the sheets were stained with what I assume was blood. The door wouldnt shut unless you slammed it. Look for places in the downtown area by the river and skip this dump

This is not your typical best western hotel. This is a motel. While the rooms were better than I’d expected from looking at the place, you can’t cover shabbiness with a coat of pea soup paint. The “continental breakfast” (available between 6am-9am) consisted of apples, oranges, juice, cold cereal, bread, yogurt, and a pancake maker that didn’t work. And you can’t forget about the microwaveable “old folks” breakfast sausage sandwiches that were rubbery and tasteless, something I’m sure even the old folks in a home wouldn’t enjoy. The “dining area” did have a Folgers machine that worked but the gentleman at the desk did seem concerned when I went in there to get coffee in the afternoon/evening. Overall, would never stay again!

The door didn't even sealed properly. It locked but barely. There was a giant crack letting all the heat out all night. At least it was a clean place. A big deal was made about breakfast but it was a couple pancakes and a coffee machine.

Noooo Thank you Surestay! 👎

I always book non smoking as I'm not a smoker. Upon opening the door to the room the overpowering smell of smoke and mold filled my nose. Rooms are dated but the bed is comfortable. Be prepared to pay a $60 additional deposit to the property until you check out and they verify the room is in order. This is charged separately from the room fee. Also they are pet friendly however there is a $25 per night pet fee. Ohhhh did I mention check out is at 11am, but be prepared for them to start knocking on the door about 9am sharp. They even called the room at 910am to verify is leaving.
