Not the worst got what we paid for

A 3/4 full bottle of water was left on the desk and a towel hung behind the bathroom door. Otherwise the room was clean and in good shape. WiFi although offered was unusable and low cellular signal from Verizon. Breakfast was passable first morn at 9 am no eggs and 3 sausage links along with cereal, milk, juice and breaks was available. Door close loudly other guests leaving around 6 am both mornings would wake us with the doors slamming closed. I would stay again overall. I do keep low standards for hotels as I pay As little as I can when staying in one.

This hotel was dirty, the staff was rude. Our AC took forever to work and the room was hot and wet. The carpet was filthy and wet. The shower had pubic hair all over the walls. The sheets were stained and used, we slept in sleeping bags. Just overall disgusting we booked two nights and left after one night as quickly as possible.. do NOT stay here.

The room was ok. The locks on going into the building were not functioning. There was thermostat, which I assume was old hanging off of the wall, and there was a dirty washcloth left on the hanging bar by the sink. The room was not fancy but decent enough to sleep.

It was nice there was several places to eat with in walking distance. And a grocery store less than a block away. What I was disappointed with was the room was not finished from the renovation that was going on and one of the beds box was covered in blood and wound could not lock the dead bolt. And after the first of two nights are keys needed reactivated.

Staff was friendly which is the best thing I can say. . However the property is very outdated. Musty smell, warped floor in the hallway. Our room was passable for one night but my relative’s room was horrible with holes in the carpet and wall and an anthill in the carpet. No coffee made in the breakfast area at 7:30 am. I would not stay again.

The photo of smoke detector is the second better room. Arrival was rough to check in it took the clerk a longg time and not because he was busy First room - others food in fridge and trash, toilet didn’t flush. Second room - no smoke detector, black marks on sheets Neither room had a proper blanket just a sheet and the decorative piece thin as a sheet. There were mattresses in the hall and a stove outside on the sidewalk. Being the only hotel in town I hope they can improve. It was ROUGH and I’ve been some rough places.

This hotel was the dirtiest hotel I’ve ever been at. Floor, bathroom and toilet were really dirty, there was a huge spider web everywhere. I don’t recommend staying there.
