Needs Improvement

The hotel is old. It's been remodeled, which helps. There's a super strong smell of chlorine bleach everywhere. The grounds needs upkeep. The wonderful thing is the staff, they are very friendly and pleasant. They're trying to do the best possible job.

Below average at best

Below average at best. the hotel is old and needs a lot of work, very dirty hallways, smelly and old. Even the ice machine was disgustingly dirty. Room was quiet and kinda clean but for $200 it wasnt even close to worth it. For the condition of this hotel it shouldnt be more than maybe $69 a night, not $200..I would not stay there again. The help at the hotel was great, at least there was that.
