First room after check in the hall light was dim. Changed rooms and heat didn’t work at all. It was freezing in the room. Got up at 3 am to change rooms and was told I had to wait until the manager got in in the morning. Third room was better. Elevator smelled like marijuana. This hotel needs a major renovation. The worst hotel I’ve ever stayed in

Not worth saving a few dollars.

Very outdated. The room had a smell as if it hadn't been used in a while. The bedding looked clean but the carpet was ripped in 1 place and stained. It could have used a good cleaning. Good for what we needed it for but won't consider staying again. The breakfast was very stale cereal, and bread with jelly. There was a partial gallon of milk in the fridge as well.

This is easily the most disgusting hotel I've ever stayed at. Run down, old, not maintained and not clean. There was actually what appeared to be blood spatter on the bathroom wall among many other problems. I would have walked out of the place never to return if everything in town wasn't already booked for a trade show. Do not stay at this hotel!!!

Dirt, dirt, and more dirt

The hotel was very dirty. The carpeting in the halls was stained and filthy. The complimentary breakfast, set up by the desk clerk in five minutes, had limited selections and no fresh food.

I don’t ever give reviews but had to one this one. Easily the dirtiest hotel ever. From the moment you want in every carpet in every hallway is stained and disgusting. Looked like mass murder took place. Hotel is run down and no care given
