Meh, wouldnt stay again.

We actually wanted to cancel and book at a waterpark hotel, but this hotels phone lines went to busy signal for over 24hr period. Whatever our own fault for not booking that first. Walked up to a broken glass bottle right outside the front door. Our room was booked for a family of 5. It only had two full beds and a chair. Thank goodness i packed our air mattress. Again, let it go. They didnt have any extra pillows or blankets in the room, only 3 bath towels, was completely out of body wash and only about 2 uses of toilet paper left on the roll with no additional roll anywhere in room. I woke up at 3:30am to what sounded like furniture sliding around. You can tell the hotel is trying, but for $200 I expected better.

Unsafe Vibes

From the moment of walking into this hotel I got weird vibes. The person at the front desk didn’t even ask us our names or for an ID when checking in, just handed us key cards for a room. The mattress was just a spring bed and very uncomfortable. There were very loud, presumably drunk people in the halls in the middle of the night. The walls are extremely thin and we could hear the people next door very clear throughout the night as well. The hotel had an old musty smell. This place just did not feel safe, would not stay again or recommend.

Staff was friendly. The building is about what's to be expected for a room under $100. It seemed clean, just old. Place is well beyond its prime, but reasonable if you're just looking for a place to crash for an evening.

The room was noisy from the exit door, the neighboring laundry room, and people in the hallway. The door has almost 0 sound proofing and feels really lacking in privacy. The hallway stinks terribly and the continental breakfast is so limited. For the price, I expected a bit better; not perfect, but better.
