We had a Expedia confirmation but when we arrived, they told us there was no room and it was expedia’s Fault. The hotel looks like it needs a lot of work and is very run down. We were happy to leave and find alternate accommodations.

They booked me and when I arrived at the hotel, I was told that there was no vacancy that I have to call Expedia and cancel my reservation. I called Expedia to cancel my reservation for the hotel and guess what they didn't answer and charge me for the night anyway. So upset with the whole ordeal...

Don't stay here

When I saw the condition of the hotel and how much junk was all over I did not stay there. I went to another hotel. This place was absolutely disgusting. It looked like a slump. I don't recommend it at all. Doesn't look like the pictures and isn't worth the money they are asking. I felt very dirty and unsafe just by pulling into the parking lot.

They had no room for me; double booked.

I drove 150 miles to find that I had no room; no trace of me in the computer. Expedia had given me a confirmation number but the hotel had no trace of it. The manager was courteous and empathetic but had no room for us. He wrote a letter so that I may prove my situation. I did not get to see a room and thus I can't rate the rooms.

The smell of the room was intense. We had to wait til three to check in because the front desk was the housekeeper to. Bugs in windows no drapes or curtains. Blinds torn don't recommend.

Horrible...no service

Horrible because I didn't even get to stay in it after 45 minutes and he walked me to check out room. He said I had to look for another place because the people in my car was too loud. I hadn't taken them home from the wedding we attended. I want my money back asap because I had to go find another hotel at 9pm

DO NOT STAY HERE

Upon arrival. The room had carpet just installed. Filthy. No bed. No dresser. NOTHING. We were assured the room would be ready by 5. Since check in time was 3pm. Hmmm....Paint rollers in shower. Air compressor on floor. More paint rollers on the toilet. Well...the air conditioner was just bought that day. Never less did not stay. Waste of time and money.

Ask for room #12

The room we had (#12 ) was newly renovated and we were the first ones to stay in there, although they were not 100% completed (drapes not hung but blinds were up, pictures not hung) we enjoyed our stay. All the staff were very nice and attentive.

Terrible RIP OFF

I forgot to bring my confirmation, but thought I had already paid in full. Economy said I owed the whole 2 nights, so I paid it figuring I'd sort that out later. The room was supposed to have 2 double beds and only had one. The room was dingy and dirty and had missing baseboard. We decided we could not stay there, so they agreed to refund the 2 nights and then 2 days later they charged me another $50. When I called to see what that was for they said we stole the towels! Why would I steal paper thin stained towels! Now I'm out 2 nights plus $50.00.

Hotel going through redevelopment.

The new manager said they have just taken over and was in the process of renovating the place. The manager put us in a room where the microwave wasn't working. The manager said to hold on and he would be right back. 30 minutes later the manager returns with a new microwave he just purchased. I admired how hard the manager worked with providing us with good customer service.
