A Pleasant Stay Was Enjoyed.....

VERY nice - for the most part; few if any complaints (wasn't clear if large-screen viewing monitor had USB ports - admittedly, DIDN'T examine; that'd definitely be DESIRABLE though.....)

I booked a King bed/NON SMOKING room. Checking in was a breeze, the guy was very friendly and helpful. Went to my room, and I immediately noticed a stench of nasty stale smoke.. gross! So much for a non smoking room!! The room itself was nasty... dirty, dusty and not clean at all. Stains on the walls. The bed had a metal frame, which every time you moved, it made a noise. The bottom of the tub had packed in dirt... as in, they don't scrub/clean the tub. Blinds and curtains broken. Sadly, they were completely booked, so why ask to be moved. When I checked out, there was a different person working. I asked to speak to a manager... apparently there is no manager, I was told " they just work there, no manager works here". That tells me alot, no one seems to care about cleanliness at all. Needless to say, I will never stay there again. I'm thankfully it was for only one night while passing through town. Stay cleae of this place!!!

We got there, checked in. It didn’t look like the property we saw on Expedia. We got to our room. Went out for supper across the street. Came back to find the bathroom had water all over the floor. We tried to use the phone in the room, it didn’t work. So I walked up and reported what happened. The owner came and looked, bought old worn out towels, put them on the floor. She then proceeded to go upstairs the room above us. She couldn’t find anything. Another hour goes by, went into the bathroom water was still leaking from the ceiling. It looked like it was ready to collapse. In the meantime the upstairs room sounded like a lot of people and children, the children running around. When the owner came back to check the leak we complained about the noise upstairs. She said she would talk with them. Nothing changed she gave us her cell phone number to call if there was more problems. We called again the noise was still going on. She said she would have them move to another room. They didn’t move. We called again at 9:30 pm with the noise and the water dripping. She said she could move us to another room, really! She didn’t offer when we first found the leak around 5:00. We are in our late 70’s and never complain. The noise continued all night. I called her the next day and told her the noise continued all night long. She said she couldn’t help that. I hanged up. I know some people were living there and not renting. I would not recommend this place to stay.
