This place is so dirty it’s filthy. It looks like it hasn’t been cleaned for the price that I paid. This seems like it should only be about 40 bucks a night. I have to be honest I mean, I found so much dirt in the bathroom and it just doesn’t look like it had been clean. I did check the bed. I mean there’s tears in the blanket stains on the sheets. It smells like smoke here cause it is a smoking room but it’s pretty disgusting. I would not recommend staying here everything is dirty. I disinfected my hands after every time I touched anything in here totally grows.
This is a bathroom with an ant and there was spiders and the floor hasn’t been cleaned and it’s just gross

I stayed for two nights here for the renaissance festival. The man at the front desk was helpful in making sure I didn't have to switch rooms (I booked the second night last minute under a separate booking) and the room had no issues. It even had daily cleaning which I never expect anymore. Exceeded expectations, I will likely stay here next year.

Literally the rudest people I have ever encountered. They try and charger a deposit? But have smoking rooms ? Which is weird most hotels due deposits for people who smoke and aren’t suppose too ? The room itself is only worth half of what i paid for the room! The owners stood outside my door rushing me to get out ! It was rude and uncomfortable

I’m pregnant and came here to stay because I was low on money. The room had no working ac/heat and when we complained the hotel manager said we lied without even checking. He then called to leave a voicemail after we left that he thinks we smoked and took 50$. I’m pregnant and don’t smoke and can’t be around smoke so this is extremely sad. I feel like I’ve been scammed.
