Under construction, dirty,

When we first pulled up there was a trailer full of construction debris right in front of front door under canopy and no cars in parking lot. We were wondering if they were even open. Once inside the area to right had construction equipment and looked like a construction site. Front desk lady was very friendly though. Went to check out the pool and there was a ton of dirt/sand in bottom of pool under the water. Pool deck had a bunch of Libby furniture stored all around. Sign on pool door stated the building inspector ordered a stop work order. Out room while nice furniture and decor had spider webs in every corner, very ole tub with lots of chips out of the porcelain and hand prints all over the curtains. At breakfast, the juice machine was out of order and only had waffles, apples, yogurt and hard boiled eggs in a large container. Had we know there was no pool available and the place was under construction we would have stayed somewhere else.

Good value.

The pool and first floor rooms were closed for renovations, but the elevator was working so no issues. The staff was very friendly and helpful in all aspects. The rooms could use some updating, but the bed was great, and the rooms were clean. Good value for the money.

It was a place to sleep but this hotel is not something I would ever go back to or recommend. It’s dirty, moldy, and dark. It’s also under construction with multiple hazards. There are ZERO extras associated with the stay and the price was high for what it was. Disappointed.

PLUSES: Friendly staff, very comfortable beds/pillows, lots of TV channels, very clean linens (a review a while back had reported bedbugs but I saw NO evidence of them and I even lifted up the sheets and checked the mattress.) Super easy access to casino and the Prairie Meadows horse track--way cheaper than staying at the casino, especially if you don't plan on being in the room much. I did not use the pool but I would have, if I'd brought swimwear. Pool area was clean, water looked clean, and the patrons who were using the pool looked satisfied. WHAT I EXPECTED FOR THIS PRICE: Okay but not stellar free breakfast (a little on the carb-y side, no hot protein, but the waffle maker machine makes up for it), a little bit of noise from other guests but nothing creepy or scary. It's "machine syrup coffee" but it's still above average; a cup will hold you over until you can get to Starbucks 1.1 mile away or the Perkins down the street. COULD BE BETTER: To their credit, I understand they have been renovating some rooms but the carpets and hallways are looking old, tired, and overused. Room was a tad musty smelling. My traveling companions were a little weirded out that their window was open when they arrived (I wonder if someone had been smoking/vaping in it previously). Still, nothing I'd call a deal-breaker for the price and the friendliness/responsiveness of the staff make up for their shortcomings since I merely needed a place to sleep to enjoy a holiday weekend.

Needs updating badly

We went for a weekend, the staff was friendly, but the rooms need upgrades badly. Furniture was worn and dirty, badly painted trim, and blackout curtains need replacement. Door handle needed update as they were hard to open. The bed was comfortable. Breakfast, if you could call it that wasn't worth it. We ended up eating at a restaurant. Also, when we walked in our hotel window was wide open.

When we walked into the room it smelled like a damp basement. Bedding and carpet were all damp. Light bulb out over sink( nothing big and was fixed when told staff.) Water still in coffee maker. Staff did give us a bag to hang in our room for moisture, helped somewhat. Staff was kind. Breakfast was good.
