Bed had seen better days. Was really dim. Lobby and room smelled. Towels were really worn, needed to be replaced, so did the sheets. No coffee in the room. Hardly any water pressure. The only good thing I can say about this place is it was quiet. I wish I spent the extra money for a better hotel. Cheap is not always better.

We didn’t find any bed bugs, so that’s a plus. Room seemed clean but sheets had a few stains and a few rips. Most disappointing part was the “breakfast” had nothing but stale packaged muffins, overripe bananas, cereal but no milk, and chunky floaties in the apple juice and orange juice, like the dispenser machine needed cleaned. Nasty.

Everything I needed was all there!

It was a great size room for my few days stay. The staff was friendly and very accommodating. I forgot to pack a few things to get ready for the day and they were more than helpful to let me use some of their items. If I ever come through town again I will be staying here. Thank you Ameristay for your hospitality!
