This hotel delivers a decent experience on par with its value pricing: it's a little run down and the walls are a little thin, but the staff were very helpful and the beds were clean and comfortable.

There was no food at the breakfast and the breakfast area was absolutely in disarray - it looked like a bomb went off. When we talked to reception she cleaned one table and didn’t bother to contact anyone about there being no food, coffee, or juice. Our toilet and shower were broken, deadbolt did not work, was super noisy all night and smelt strongly of pot. Do not recommend.

The room was clean. We did not receive room cleaning the second night. We had to ask for towels. Manager acted shocked we did not have room cleaned. Next day we had towels but bed was still not made. Manger gave us wrong password for WiFi. Finally figured it out. Breakfast room was a disaster. There were no cups out for the batter mix. We had to look in the bottom cabinets to get out our supplies. We wound fixing one waffle and then Didn’t have enough syrup for it. It was nasty! This was a one time stay at the hotel. Never again

I requested someone come and mop the floor because it looked dirty. The receptionist told us it was stained, but clean. Someone didn't clean the floor because we could see dirt and dead bugs. The carpet wasn't cleaned either. The curtains were too long and were getting in the way of the air conditioner thereby blocking the air flow. The walls were stained in the bathroom, you could see hand prints. One of the bedcovers had the same kind of dirt. The ice bucket had mold in it. The room smelled like mildew so we asked to be moved but according to the receptionist, the manager said the room was clean enough. We will never stay there again. The receptionist was nice, though. We did ask for extra blankets and a pillow.
