Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
This place is terrible. There are people living in the hotel and loitering in the parking lot. The walls are thin and windows are single paned so you can hear every conversation. My white socks were black from walking on their carpet in the room. Their attempt at breakfast was meager at best and not at all inviting. We left early and didn't care about them refusing to give us a refund. We found a much better hotel in the area for the next 2 nights.

The man checking us in was nice but this was by far the dirtiest place I have stayed in my life! The pictures are either photo shopped or taken somewhere else. Also, I think I smoked more marijuana that was outside my window with the people hanging outside my window talking all night! This place should be closed down!

Do not book here. Pictures are misleading. Room was not clean. Window had a board holding it. Unsafe with all the druggies around. He couldn't get any keys to work so he had to use the master key only. Never ended up staying there. Holiday Inn was wayyyy better!!!

The hotel looked nothing like the pics. It was very dirty with holes and stains on carpet. The worst of all— the stained sheets and linens. I was stuck bc I had a dog and no other options for hotels or I’d have left.

We reserved a king bed with a hot tub in the room but we didn’t get that. The bathroom and walls were stained and gross. The pictures of the website didn’t look anything like the actual hotel. I was really disappointed.

ChatGPT said: Breakfast is pretty light, but there are some great spots nearby that open early and serve an awesome breakfast. The best part though—those beds and pillows are insanely comfortable. I honestly felt like asking where they get them :) Bottom line: For the price, this place is a great deal. Perfect if you’re not planning to hang around all day and just need a super comfy spot to crash for the night. That’s exactly what we were looking for, and this hotel totally delivered.

The property was an older Days Inn, was clean and staff was friendly. I did have a problem with the shower dripping and brought that to their attention, which they will rectify after my stay (plumbing problem). Breakfast was non existent. The location was great for what we were doing.

Hotel is very dated and dirty. Very loud, thin walls. TV was broken when we got in the room took an hour and 3 employees to fix it wasting time of out night when the hotel knew about the issue before I checked in. Would not recommend.
