The beds and bedding need updated. The pillows were horrible. 3 pillows to equal almost 1 normal pillow. Breakfast was not good as there were zero protein options available. The cleaning lady knocked on my door multiple times - I even said through the door I was staying til checkout. But she kept coming back. There were no Do Not Distrub signs to put on the door. It was one quick night - so I know, you get what you pay for. If you need multiple nights go somewhere else. If its 1 night and you just need a spot to sleep - its a good value. Jusy expect to go next door to Perkins for breakfast.

Worst Hotel Ever

Shower and toilet weren't clean. Hair everywhere - bed, shower, sink, toilet. Walls are paper thin, and the orange juice was watered down.

A bit of a disappointment!

Room floor didn't look vacuumed, dirty recliner, ground floor window to parking lot did not close properly to lock, could be open easily from outside, big security issue. TV had big vertical line on screen. Lampshade was broken. Breakfast was a disappointment! Entrance doors were unlocked at late hours, anyone could walk in! Bed spread had burn holes!!! Non smoking room!

Not only am I giving this hotel a bad rating I want to put extra emphasis on how terrible the service here was. I stayed here for more than 20 days. Not once did they ask or clean the room. I had to track down employees for anything because the room phone wasn’t working nor was there someone to answer it anyways. The workers appear to live on site. An they’re always in their room. Out of those 20 plus days of my stay they had breakfast maybe 2-3 times. Even tho that’s supposed to be an included daily thing. I will never stay at this hotel again. Plus my room smelled really bad. Pretty sure they have bed bugs, was bitten multiple times unable to figure out where an how. I could go on n on. One good thing was the mini fridge was very good. Kept everything really cold.

One of the reasons I chose this hotel was for the free breakfast, but in the morning most of the breakfast items were either gone or the machines were being cleaned.
