Never again

The place is a dump. There was hair in the bathtub, the sheets looked nasty like someo ne had sex in it before we got there. The walls were dirty with stainsThere was no continental breakfast and no clerk available when we were trying to check out. We had to give the maid our keys when we left. The poor lady was standing there calling the clerk and the owner because she was locked out.

Good location but dirty unkept rooms

Front desk staff was friendly and check-in was smooth. That’s about where the positives end. The room door had a huge dent/hole they tried to repair. The door frame lock on the inside would not have stopped anyone as it easily moved around when wiggled. The floors in the bathroom had bugs, dirt and hair from others. The door to the bathroom was disgusting in both sides. The walls had splatters of who knows what on them. The sheet wasn’t even all the way on the bed and was inside out. The bed was surprisingly comfortable. Only stayed one night and will not be back. The value for the amount paid was poor. The property was dirty and rooms were rundown and not kept clean.

A place to lay your head

The Hotel needs some TLC. The staff was good but they were limited with help. They definitely did their part. The hotel needs some maintenance especially in the bathroom. The maintenance looks to be done armature at best with no sense of pride or just pressured for a quick fix. The Hotel has a lot of potential.

Im going to be straight forward- if you are looking for a Hilton style- keep looking. If you want to be right at the edge of all the hustle and bustle of town, it's a great pick. The price was great for our 4 nights.It was clean, but we did have a stained pillow case that was immediately taken care of by the front desk. It is an older building and they have done some renovations but the walls are a bit thin. Wasn't an issue for us. The water pressure is AMAZING and the hotel supplied toiletries, coffee and coffee pot, a mini fridge and a microwave. Bed was comfortable. We will definitely stay again.

Property is outdated. Staff was very nice. But everytime i went to the front dest had to wait for someone to come up. The room was clean. But the bathroom door front panel was barely hanging on and could not close the door without getting stuck. That room 205. No suitcases stand to put my suitcases on. Bed was horrible and pillows sucked. Barley sleep my neck and shoulders were killing me by the morning. Husband and both my boys did not sleep well either. Oh and when we got to our room went to check the ded and one of thw deds was missing a fittted sheet. But they came and put one on for us. Will not stay again.
