Funny, it wont allow my photos. Sorry. DONT stay

First- checking in was ok. I did ask for a nice non smoking room. I got a non smoking room. The room was ( more, but here is a round about as I threw away receipt accidentally ) Saturday $400+, Sunday $200 +, Monday $175 ish.. 100% in now way was it anything close to a $400+ or $200+ hotel !! Room was so dirty and disgusting. There was no iron to check for bed bugs, so i literally used a coffee pot full of hot water. Thank God we didnt see any. I had to wipe down entire room with lysol wipes before we even sat down. In the pictures here, you will see the very dirty window including a torn up screen. The lamps on wall were falling apart and completely rusted old shades , and one didn't work. The coffee pot was so disgusting we never even used it, but I CLEANED it for next customers. The mirrors were not even cleaned. The white photo is the bathroom door and toilet handle. The white washcloth shows the dirt i found just wiping down the room. The bathtub shows all the disgusting dirt rinsed out of that washcloth. And whenever we went out and returned, the room stunk, like old musty dirty smell. The " breakfast" --- dont bother. Coffee, juice, oatmeal pack, banana, toast. NO PROTEIN. You could get a better breakfast at a soup kitchen. And the employees? Unfriendly duds except the girl when we checked in. Not even smiles during breakfast 😕...Really good coffee shack on the other side of McDonald's btw. Great breakfast and service in complex right next door by thriftshop

Tatted up gang banger looking men hanging out in parking lot for a few hours, homeless people using the dog park and bags of trash near our front door were a few things that made us uncomfortable with our stay.

Great, simple, minimum-frills place to stay, especially if bringing dogs. The property is nice and has multiple grassy areas filled with plants. Convenient access for a quick pee-walk with the pups. There are also multiple wooden gazebos and benches that are pretty if you want to sit outside for a bit. There is a small enclosed dog park on the property as well that is a great and safe place to let the dogs off leash to stretch after the car ride to get there. The fridge was nice and cold. The beds were comfy. Nice showers with soap/ shampoo/ conditioner included on the wall. Quick-grab breakfast options available in the morning at the front office

The hotel was not in top condition. The window blinds were broken and had to be opened and shut by hand one slat at a time. The shampoo dispenser was missing in the shower. There was a body bath and conditioner dispenser in the shower. The overall cleanliness was good. The breakfast was minimal. You could hear dogs barking in the next room. Overall, It served our purpose at a reasonable price.

We paid $187 for one night for a queen size room. Thec first thing I noticed was how dirty the door was to the room. They put us in a 2 bedroom room which that's not what we booked, the smell of the room was awful ! I was trying not to gag from the smell. We would've went somewhere else but all other places were full! The beds were so hard my shoulder hurt in the morning from it. All the baseboards were dirty, there was graffiti in the bathroom. There was writing all over the guest booklet. The remote did not work. The wifi they gave us did not work at all. For as much as we paid for one night it was awful. The smell was the worst part, I had to go buy a candle to help cover it up. They did have a fire pit outside at night and a dog park. They should really consider cleaning the place up. Maybe putting in some different flooring because I'm sure it was dog pee smell from the carpets !
