Bed Bugs!!!!!!! Front desk didn’t want to admit it. They didn’t give a refund, very rude. They moved me to another room quickly but I already taken these pictures. I showered and changed clothes and had to make sure none were on me. Then I left. They did not give me a refund or cancel my second night stay.

BED BUGS!! Horrible stay. Woke up to bed bugs. I contacted the front desk. Two men came to the room and without actually looking decided to say there were no bed bugs. They moved me to the room across the hall. I don’t know if bed bugs could travel room to room or not but I didn’t want to take chances. I decided to leave the hotel a day early. They gave no refund. I had bite all over my right elbow. I called the front desk to let them know I had bites and they definitely had a bed bug problem and they responded with “ What do you want us to do with that information?” So I paid for two nights, stayed one and got bed bug bites and then had the stress of taking the right steps not to transfer them. Very stressful, waste of money and time. If I could give zero stars I would.

Disappointed.

I had to cancel my stay 5 days in advance because I was in the Hospital with Pneumonia. I was told the room was non refundable, which was fine when I reserved it, but I didn't know I was going to be in the hospital, and unable to make my concert and stay at the hotel. Under the circumstances I asked to get a refund or voucher. The lady at the desk was going to ask the owner and call me back. Never heard a thing. I called again. She heard my sick voice on the phone. 2 weeks and I am still not over my pneumonia. I was able to get a voucher for the concert tickets, and I stayed at the hotel last summer. I'm on disability, so not refunding the $75.00 is really not nice. I would have booked again at econo Lodge if they would have done that. Frustrated, Marlene Meinhard

Our room was dirty and it was obvious it had not been cleaned thoroughly. The bath tub had a slimy feel, stains on the curtains, splatters all over counters and even on the lampshades. Even the mirrors were dirty with splatters all over them as well. There needs to be better cleaning done here it’s definitely unsanitary would not recommend.

I chose this hotel last minute due to a death in the family but it had a good rating and I trusted the brand. My room was extremely dusty. There were stains on the lampshade and red splatters on the wall. (I did take pics) The temp outside when I arrived was below 30° yet the heater to the room wasnt even turned on. The windchill temp that night got down to 4°. There wasn't a blanket on the bed or in a drawer. The bed only had sheets and a sheet-thin green fabric top. The tub was so grimy that I had to buy gloves and disinfectant to clean it. The bathroom door did not close completely. The traffic in the hallway was average but at night, people would stand in the hallway and have very loud conversations, sometimes at 4am. They were so loud that it must have been heard at the desk which wasn't that far away. Yet nothing was done. Obviously, you cant smoke in the hotel but some guests thought it was appropriate to smoke right at the entrance. Staff did nothing to get them to move. They have full view of the entrance and those going in and out, so this made no sense to me. One time when I was leaving for the funeral and went outside, I had to use my inhaler and the people smoking finally moved away from the door. I parked in one of the few spots closest to the hallway to my room that had less snow and ice because the closest handicapped spot to it was taken. The hotel is close to the airport and essential shopping. However, I would not choose to stay here again.

Outside doors don’t lock so anybody can walk in. Room 112 door’s dead bolt doesn’t work correctly. Very annoying that they have a possible $500 charge after you check out if the room is left too dirty. Take a video before and after or stay.

Physically its heyday was a while back, but the price and proximity to MBS make it a good choice. The staff, especially the man whom I took to be the manager, was very friendly and helpful.

The whole hotel smelled, if it wasn’t one smell it was another. From the hallways smelling like pot, to the actual hotel room smelling musty and unclean. The bathroom was tiny and water pressure was terrible. When we pulled into the hotel it was difficult to even tell where the office/lobby area was from the outside. Parking lot and building look run down.

My husband and I just stayed to not drive back home. The hotel was okay. Was clean but hall ways and room stink a weird smell. Also it was nosy you can hear every step all night. Hard to sleep. The bathtub floors were very scary made a hard noise in every step. It was fair for the night.

I was surprised by the stay. It’s not the greatest, but not the worst by far. The room was clean, the air conditioner worked well. Even though we really were there to just sleep after the Blake Shelton concert, it was a nice stay.
