The room did not reflect the pictures so when we got there the room wasn't very nice holes in the wall, crappy paint job, the stove didn't work, the place was messy and in the bathroom there was mold all around the world pool tub. The place just looked beat up and run down and there is no coffee or breakfast. The parking lot was extremely dangerous because of the snow there was no pass shoveled to the doors parking lots were a mess with a lot of snow! The outside doors did not lock so anybody could just come in the building as they wanted to and there was an overall sense of not being safe! We will not return to that hotel ever.

You get what you pay for. would I stay here with my guy friends absolutely would I bring my wife here not a chance. A lot of these property’s have been bought by Indians, they don’t have any hospitality experience they don’t realize these places need to be brought up to date constantly. The owners really need to go to school and learn how to operate these places correctly.
