Worst hotel I have ever been in. Cockroaches and bed bugs. NOTHING LIKE THE PICTURES. Insider staff information told me it is because this new hotel took over a previous chain hotel and kept the pictures and reputation. Skin started itching within 10 minutes and was out and across the street at another hotel within 30 minutes. Currently fighting for a refund. Misleading presentation on Expedia, feel scammed.

Overall good stay. It’s not a five star place yet did its job. The room was clean and that’s important. Everything was dated and needs a facelift. Breakfast was delish and that 6$ pizza was one of the best.

When I first arrived the staff just seemed unhappy to even be there. She tried but u can tell she isn't happy in her position. I am currently in a wheelchair and booked an accommodating room with handicap shower so I don't fall and the rooms didn't have cable so I had to be placed in a regular room. When I got to the room it was so hot I was sweating. The air does not work well at all and took the entire night to cool down as I sweat in the bed sheets. The cable in my room only showed 3 channels which I called the front desk and they told me we have to mess with the TV menu and try to "figure it out". No help, didn't send anyone to fix it and made me have to do it. Then it just cut out all together and said no signal. The food at the restaurant is over priced and poor quality. A chicken quesadilla is 17 frickin bucks and was trash. The complimentary breakfast was actually good. All in all I will not be returning here again at all.

DO NOT STAY HERE

Apparently the tv was operable due to no cable or wi fi available for guest due to “technical difficulties “ it was not resolved throughout the stay. In addition we woke up full of bug bites that we ended up in ER shortly after. Horrible experience!!!
