This hotel is dark, dirty and not well maintained. Definitely in the motel category, the property needs major help with maintenance. However, the property manager was great! Very helpful and she tried to accommodate us as best as she could but the property was unacceptable. We went to the Holiday Inn in the next parking lot, we left this hotel ( that I paid for and didn’t receive a refund), did not stay the night and checked into the Holiday Inn, great decision!!

This was definitely a get what you pay for room. The bathroom was the worst of it. It had definitely been “renovated”. There was sloppy caulking, with the empty caulk canister still in the trash. There was scraped off caulk on the floor. And whoever was in the room prior hadn’t even flushed the toilet. It served its purposes, but don’t expect anything more than mediocre.

This place is falling apart and unclean. The room was dirty with a rusty razor blade sitting near the sink and stained towels/washcloths. There’s a dripping leak in the workout room and breakfast was nothing but dry cereal/waffles/oatmeal with no protein. Never going back.

Staff were friendly and helpful! It's an older hotel, but our room was clean, the heat worked well, hot water and good water pressure. It was also very quiet overnight. We were towing an RV travel trailer and appreciated the large parking lot across the street.

This was honestly one of the worst hotel experiences I’ve had. The room was dirty when we got there. There was hair in multiple places, the sink was clogged, and there was even a hole in the wall. The walls had stains and looked like they hadn’t been cleaned in a long time. The bathtub was also dirty, and the whole room just felt unclean. On top of that, after sitting and lying on the bed, we started feeling itchy, which made it really hard to get comfortable. I understand this isn’t a luxury hotel, but basic cleanliness should still be expected. I would not stay here again and would not recommend it to others.
