Gross and Dirty

The room was dirty. The comforter looked like someone jumped on the bed black shoe prints as well as rips. Sink was filthy. Toilet had been pooped in and had skid marks all over it. Property is 1 star and that’s being nice. We didn’t stay, because of how gross it was!

Comfortable and clean. Large, updated room with the exception of the bathtub/shower. Water was warm not hot, shower was barely comfortable. Shower water pressure was low. All else was fine; would stay again if traveling to that area.

Had the rudest and coldest person check me in. No conversation or talk about the property or my room. The place was dirty. My room smells like smoking and cigarettes! I had homeless pounding on my bathroom window at 3am. Paper thin walls and can hear everything! Holes in my towels

I booked for three days, but on the evening of the second day the Internet went out. I was absolutely counting on that to coordinate a series of medical procedures and they said it would be fixed by morning. It was not fixed. I got back to my room in late morning after a med visit, still no Internet and so I checked out to look for another hotel. It was after the 1100 checkout time (about 1200) and they wouldn't refund my money. They claimed the Internet was up and running, but it was not. The rooms were clean, but the property (stairwells, parking lot, sidewalks, etc) were filthy with trash, discarded food items and so on. Also, irritating as hell, they have a little coffee bar in the lobby but the lobby is locked up until 0800 or so. If you have business in town, you'd better scout for a Starbucks because the hotel coffee isn't available early enough.

Just alright

It wasn’t a bad stay or anything but the pictures just made it look nicer than it was in person. Stains on the bedcover and towels. Lots of homeless hanging around so probably wouldn’t book here again. Staff was nice though.
