Lack of security

There is a gas grill shelter at the third back building where several company guests were partying and left their mess behind. They were urinating in the grass when I pulled into the parking spaces. I had to pick up glass beer bottles so we could leave the parking lot. The ice machine was not working. The entry doors do not have security locks so anyone and their brother can enter the hotel at any time. When I reported the party and garbage, the front desk said they cannot see the back building because they do NOT have security cameras back there. So anything can happen to someone unloading their car and anyone can enter the hotel at that door that does not have a security lock and they would never know. Then I found a cockroach on the sheer curtains the second night. Would not stay there again and certainly not for the price.

More for Workers, Less for Travelers

The stay was acceptable, but I would not choose to return. While the hotel has been updated with fresh paint, it still feels dated overall. It appears to cater primarily to work crews, as evidenced by the numerous construction vehicles on-site. There were also several guests sitting outside their rooms in camping chairs, smoking, which made the atmosphere feel less comfortable. Additionally, the room would benefit from a thorough deep cleaning. The front desk woman was very kind and professional.
