DO NOT STAY HERE. GO SOMEWHERE ELSE EVEN IF IT COSTS MORE. The price was low, but you get what you pay for. It started with a rude person at check-in and got worse from there. When the person told me there was no breakfast, just coffee, I told her that the web site said there was a breakfast. She just scowled and repeated "no breakfast." The place is old and run-down, there's trash all over the parking lot, and the entire facility seems unsafe. The room smelled musty when I walked in, and when I tried to turn on the heat, the fumes were suffocating. It smelled like diesel fuel, so I figured I was better off cold than dead. The shower temp. kept changing dramatically, and in my friend's room, there was no bathtub, so the water ran all over the place, including into the hallway. It was only one night, but I could not get out of there fast enough.

Only stay here if in a pinch

If you don't mind homeless men living on the property and using the parking lot for a urinal, it's OK for a night. Frankly, it's not a bad area -- lots of restaurants nearby, from fast food to better places like BBQ and sushi, as well as stores if you need anything, so I was surprised how bad and shabby the place was. No breakfast except some horrible coffee. Maybe for $40/night it'd be tolerable, but not for almost $80. There's a Doubletree down the road, so I'd recommend that even though it's considerably more. I wish I had stayed there.

It took me over an hour to check in, with a line out the door. They only had one staff member on even though there was a huge concert in town and clearly had a ton of reservations. Be more prepared next time. There was also dirty towels in the bathroom.

The place is Okay for the price. The front desk staff are very rude. They find small things to b about. Was happy with a room & asked if I could have the same room. They would not tell me if it was or wasn't avail until I checked back in. Once I checked back in they said the room was not avail. The newer room was horrible & stunk. There was paint thinning in the bathtub & just nowhere near as good as the first room. I gave them a second chance. I asked if I could have the original room & as usual could not tell me if it was avail until after I checked in. The 3rd room was good. But not the one I wanted. When I was checking out the staff started yelling at me telling me that they were not running a family place but a place of business. There is no harm in just wanting your moneys worth. And asking if a room is avail that you were happy with. The housekeepers are gold. They are some of the nicest people that keep the place going. But choose your words wisely to the front desk. It's like a snapping debate club. The lady at the front desk sleeps at night & will tell you that you are wrong with anything you ask of her. Even if you tip her she will still appear irritable. I finally just stopped asking for anything. (what time is the breakfast that you don't have) The laundry room closes at 9pm but there is no sign of it anywhere. People will come out of their rooms with wet clothes while yours are in the washer. I took my wet clothes to the laundromat.
