The hotel smelled horrible. The sink in the bathroom was slow draining. The floors in the bathroom were sticky. The carpet felt gross on my feet. I didn't dare go without shoes. The doors were not secure. The locks were broken. At 3am people came in the hotel screaming at each other. I would never recommend this hotel....ever

Nothing like pictures online. Not clean. Low on towels. They do not serve breakfast. They will tell you they are going to tomorrow though. Oh and when they send you across the street to get breakfast from their "sister hotel"... - while that alone is awkward enough- you wont get it. The guy across the street will let you know they do not allow that, ever. So im not sure why they keep sending people over there. There were a few workers who were helpful, I wish I had gotten their names, but people at the desk..no. They made you feel like an inconvenience.

the curtains did not cover the window all the way - there was about a 3-inch gap. did not seem very clean - no tissue in the room - at 7 AM I went for the free breakfast, and nothing was set out to eat - went back to my room and left. the charge online was about $87 - but the invoice at the hotel showed a charge of $66 - why such a difference????

The front desk service was very slow. Even though we were the only guests checking in, the process took 15 minutes. We had two rooms, and in both, the bathtubs didn’t drain properly. The shower control knob and the toilet also had issues. My room had noticeable cobwebs, and the mini fridge door fell off. To make matters worse, the breakfast area didn’t open until an hour after the posted time, and the food options was very limited.

Definitely has to be better options in this town. Building is worn down, outside door are not secure, my room was very dirty. Keys did not work the first time. Looks like they might be renovating some rooms. My advice close down until you get a few room renovated.

The worst hotel I have been in. It was so bad that we left the room early evening and went to another hotel. Cleanliness is the worst. Smell terrible. Couldn’t even trust if sheets and towels are washed. Do Not Go there. Expedia: please de List from your websites. By The Way, I am usually very positive and traveled domestically and internationally. I dislike being so negative but am compelled to do it for travelers sake.
