Liked: Amenities
The night time staff was not as welcoming and friendly as the a.m. staff. They seemed very unapproachable and looked VERY unprofessional. They actually looked like 2 homeless guys that came in and sat behind the desk. I think they should have some sort of uniform or name tag to identify that they work there.

This hotel needs an overhaul.

Check in was very brief which was okay. Parking was okay and safe. The room had a view of a shipping container. The heater was super loud and kicked on loudly and shut off like it wouldn’t restart. It drowned out the tv and woke us up all throughout the night. When the heater wasn’t kicking on there was a horse walking around above us most of the night. The bed was creaky, uncomfortable with an uphill lump down the center. The tile floor was sticky and parts of the carpet were sticky and dirty. Breakfast was ok- except for the honey was old and grainy and the oatmeal was a brick. Not the quality for the price per night that was expected..
