When I arrived, I was check into a room that really did not meet my standards. I went back to the front desk, told her my concerns and she spoke to the manager. the manager showed me a different room and then went above and beyond to make sure all of my needs were meant. I would not have stayed had it not been for her! She was fantastic! It just goes to show that if you take a positive approach with management and give them a chance to resolve the issues you have, you just might be surprised at how well they do. I would give the staff, especially the Manager at this hotel an A++

Took over 1 hr to check in, we reserved 2 rooms, first try she put all of us in same room, then 2 different rooms, keys didn't work. Had to go back get keys to work, hall was full of rocks, dirt, the room smelled horrendous and was dirty. We went back asked for refund told had to send us check? Then found out charged wrong card, couldn't fix or give receipt. I expect a full refund.

Staff did what they could but they booked us in an occupied room. Second room was full of tools and apparently being remodeled, third room the TV didn't work. Promised a rebate, but they were gone by morning and that never happened. That aside, it was remarkably clean for a budget hotel. Once they get management figured out it'll be a good place to catch some zzz's

Got checked in and went to room and our key cards did not work. Got them re-done and was able to get into the room. Left and came back around 2am to go to bed and once again our key cards would not work. Went to the front desk and had to call the Clerk to come in from outside to assist me. The then states that my reservation/check in did not save from earlier in the afternoon. So I had to check in all over again in the middle of the night and get my key cards redone. When we got back into our room we found Dirty Towels behind the door in the bathroom. On the counter there was a mystery liquid that was sticky. I would recommend looking for other options if possible.
