It needs updated.

The person at desk was talking to another employee for several minutes and it took forever to get help. Overall the place was clean but it hasnt had well upkeep though. The outside reminds me of a place no longer in business. It was cheap and was good enough to lay my head for a night.

The service was great but as soon I got to the room most of the lights didn't work or just didn't have bulbs there was 4 pills on the floor. The toilet wouldn't flush and the sink wouldn't drain. The molding around the room was hanging off. Nothing like the photos when booking very disappointing.

Prior to booking I called and verified the pool was open an would be available Jan. 3rd & 4th and that guests were welcome to join in the lobby. At arrival, pool was green, an the entire place filthy. I couldn't even see myself in the mirror of my room! Nasty toilet! I arrived very late after a long trip in the car during the resent snow storm. I stayed that night due to exhaustion, but immediately addressed the staff regarding these issues. I was immediately assured I would not be getting a refund and that I'd still have to pay for the 4 th regardless if I stay or not as it was too late to cancel. This place doesn't even get a whole star!

Open windows without screens, paint chipping throughout whole room. Urine stains on bed. Was given new mattress pad cover but was told it was after hours and we’d have to change the bed ourselves. Dusty/dirty floors. Shower was ice cold.
