Great place for an overnight stay.

This was an overnight stop so that I and my friend did not have to leave our hometown at 0400 to be at a training seminar by 0700. This business was chosen for it's location to numerous areas we visit and budget friendly cost. The building is old, but updated with modern security conveniences. One noted issue is that in our room, multiple electrical outlets would not hold a cell phone charger.

The carpet was badly stained, the bedspread had stains on it, the refrigerator made a noise intermittently, there were patches on the wall that needed paiting, and there were areas that were not clean (the hair dryer, the inside of the front door). The room needs maintenance.

This is a budget room. I was aware of that going into it. I did not expect much. The room was what you would expect for a budget room. However, the entire property, including heavily in my room, absolutely stunk of cigarette smoke. It was everywhere. In the sheets, on the pillows, when the AC would blow. It made it very hard to sleep as the room was suffocating of smoke smell, and was definitely not good for a guest with asthma like myself. The rooms are listed as non-smoking, but clearly people chain smoke in these rooms and the smell is imbedded into everything. I would say spend the extra $20-$30 and go elsewhere. It’ll be more comfortable with fresh air.

Good if you only need to spend a night or two. Pictures were deceiving compared to what we saw before booking. Bathroom door wobbled missing pins/nails, nail stuck up in the floor between the carpet and the bathroom door where flooring switched, stains on comforter and the one lamp. Very long cobweb from one side of room to the other on ceiling over top of bed. We got a nonsmoking room and when we went in all you can smell was pit smoke and cigarette smoke. To me it could have been worse like I said it was good for spending a night or two but the pictures online are very deceiving.

It was an average stay. The main thing I didn’t like is in the description it says breakfast included when I got there and asked when breakfast was it was said that breakfast is only on the weekends. The weekend came and the breakfast options were bagels cereal and coffee, and there was only 5 pieces of butter and two packs of oatmeal. Also the towels looked dirty they had dirty spots on them. Other than that it was pretty decent.
