I was very disappointed in the upkeep of the hotel altogether. It was very cheaply designed and poorly dressed in both the lobby and the rooms. It was supposed to be a non-smoking place, but smelled like cigarettes all throughout the hallway. The staff was nice but terrible about addressing any concerns timely as my sink was clogged before I even used it and my smoke alarm kept going off. I won't be returning for any reason.

There were roaches crawling on the desk when we got into our room!!! Upon walking into the lobby it looks fairly clean but when you walk into the hallways of the rooms it smells like smoke and the room was not clean. I would not stay again and if you’re someone like me who reads reviews- definitely pay $30-40 more to stay somewhere else!

The first room was full of cigar smoke. Once we mived it was ok. We told the front desk upon check in we had dogs and were charged the $50 for dogs /accomodation. After check out, we were called because they said we werent charged correctly because we had 3 dogs. They proceeded to tell us the desk wasnt correct and we needed to pay another $50 for a 3rd dog. We were already an hour away and we were there for less than 15 hours with no incident.
