I booked 3 days, 2 night stay in this hotel. After checking in, i went to my room but unfortunately the room that they gave me was not even ready yet. It was not cleaned yet, the TV was on, beddings was messy. I told and complained to the front desk and they gave me a different room. There were 2 times that staff forced to open my door without knocking. They said they need to out something, the other one said he thought nobody was in my room. There were 3x staff came knocking so loud needing to out something in my room eventhough i already put “do not disturb” on the door. I was doing a very important video meeting for my work at that time. I complained at the front desk and i was told that they didn’t see a staff on their surveillance footage a staff trying to open my door. The hallway upstairs smelled like marijuana all day long. When i was checking iin, there were 3 guests also checking in who acted and looked like they were so high, snorting every now and then, smelled like marijuana. The staff even gave me the room card right away as he is aware that the 3 guests are unsafe. The location is unsafe. I did not know that the location is not great. I can afford to get better hotel in the area or in soringfield, but that time i was trying to save a little bit. The right word to describe this hotel is Scary, Poor and yucky. I should be staying until the 3rd day, but i decided to check out early, crappy hotel. This is not an exaggeration.

Hello, so I booked this stay on Hotels.com this Wednesday. The hotel called me non-stop about 7-10 times before I answered, and they told me they don’t have any rooms available. However I was still charged $326.65? Any help would be appreciated with this. Thank you

$100 incidental on top of room cost of checking in. Which is reimbursed upon checking out, didnt know but no worries. Outlets in room didnt work and informed staff before checking in. As they have you check the room before hand. I was offered to swap rooms but it wasn't a big deal to me as bathroom outlets work. Room was clean otherwise and staff was friendly.

What a joke

We have stay at this property many times throughout the years for work travel family fun , I have to say this is the worst it has ever been I would not recommend this hotel to any one I’d give it a 0.0 , during check-in, we were not allowed to check in until after 3 o’clock and the manager came out and was telling people that you may not have a room because their system was screwed up and if you’re in charge people an extra hundred dollars or more for a security deposit on the room you need to put that in your ad till you get to the hotel and surprise people with another fee on their card and then you get a bill the price ain’t even what you were quoted online. That’s kind of ridiculous also

Close to interstate and State Fair wasn’t that far away. Front desk was on the ball. Was disappointed that there was no coffee available on any of the days. Air conditioner worked, toilet flushed and no clogged drains. Refrigerator was very clean! Very reasonable price too.

Absolutely the worst hotel we’ve ever stayed at. In 5 days we had no housekeeping services, even after repeated requests. We had to go to the front desk for towels, toilet paper, soap and coffee refills. Trash was running over. When the floor housekeeper was questioned, he told us we could clean the room ourselves My advice is to find a different hotel

Appears this hotel is going down

Up on my arrival, the lady at the front desk gave me my room key number 229, she told me to check the room to make sure everything was ok. The room had bugs crawling around a bug even tried to get in my bag and it was several bugs crawling around in the tub so they had to change me to another room, #322 which the tub was very dirty and the mirrors were dirty as well
