The property and rooms were not the same as on their web site. They were very run down. The curtains on the windows were filthy and ripped. The windows were filthy and the heating mechanism wax held together by tape.

Adequate hotel for budget minded

It's an old hotel, updated. The disturbing part was cleanliness. I walked barefoot on the floors and the bottoms of my feet were black with dirt.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
The room smelled like smoke. When I was reassigned to a different room, that room also smelled like smoke. The new room also had a toilet that was very difficult to work with, and the shampoo dispenser was empty. The floor also had a lot of sand on it, so it was hard to walk around without socks on (e.g., after a shower). The grounds of the motel were also very noisy the entire time of my 2-day stay. I am removing this motel from my list of economy motels to consider staying at next time I come to the Buffalo area.
