Clean, mid-century decor. Quiet. Floor in room was peeling up and broken, and easy to trip on. Faucet in sink needed to be replaced. It was old and destroyed by the hard water. In spite of those 2 points, I would stay there again for the other good things.

Below average but not the worst

This was one of the few times Hotels.com reviews misses the mark, and missed it badly. The check in was at a terminal with a virtual host (via Zoom). I actually thought that was cool. But the process itself was clumsy and took far too long, forcing me to move back and forth from terminal to empty front desk, to call a phone number to gain access to the lobby, to enter information that was already shared, and to engage in two separate credit card transactions. The room was fine. No chairs or desk (fine) and no shelf or surface for toiletries anywhere near the sink (not fine). Seemed clean enough until I found bugs in my wash cloth. Flooring was peeling places, bed was cheap and would have been awful to share due to the burrito effect (collapsing towards the middle), and towels were scratchy. Hotels.com lists “gym” as an amenity and it is NOT. It claims guests can use nearby facilities which is false, unless you consider driving to a gym and paying to use it an amenity. Hotels.com should fix that immediately. All that said, it was clean enough to feel comfortable (before the morning shower with the bugs in the wash cloth), there is a great, very close trail system, the location is good, and the value was acceptable. Climate control was a wall unit that worked well. I would never stay there again but I slept fine and so did my brother. But this NOT and 8+ property.

The property was nice, clean, and in a safe location. However, with a low price point to stay, we had to deal with fighting crackheads with children fighting above us all night long. Aside from the screaming, it was disturning to witness and detracted from the entire experience.

The area is dirty. The hotel is old, the rooms have no desks to work on. There is no elevator. The bed mattress is so old. The only good thing was the water pressure in the shower.

This place has a good staff, and is clean. The problem I had with this place is there aren't enough surfaces to put things. No desk or table to eat or work from. The vanity for the bathroom was tiny and barely room for toiletries. I resorted to opening the ironing board to use as a table. The plumbing was also ridiculously loud. It sounded like a jet engine next door when an adjoining room ran water.

We checked in on a Saturday and left on Tuesday. The Wi-Fi NEVER WORKED. What's more, management didn't seem to care. In addition, the handles on the bathroom sink cabinets were missing, making it hard to open. Why rent that room before fixing it?
