This has to be the WORST place to rest your head. Filthy, did not feel safe and most likely had a million code violations. The pictures on Expedia are old and not up to date, it’s much worse now. The housekeeping (if that’s what you would call her) was pushing a ShopRite cart around collecting the garbage from the rooms. I thought she was a homeless person. Ridiculous. I would never return. They should probably just knock the place down and build a new hotel. Do not waste your time or money…. Stay elsewhere!!! Negative stars is what I would give if possible!! Gross.

Front desk person was not friendly and didn't seem like he knew was ge was doing, despite me paying through expedia and doing self check in on my phone it still took 15 min to get a key, the hallways and rooms are very outdated, no toilet paper holder, dirty walls, and the parking lot had not been shoveled or salted despite snow being 1 week old. Very dangerous! If needed for quick stay its doable

This hotel was adequate. Beds are extra firm and squeaky. Microwave didn't work. Bathroom countertop was chipped. Walls are very thin so heard a lot of noise from other rooms. Hotel would benefit from a remodel.

We called to make sure that the pool was open before we booked, but then when we got there, the pool was not open. Which was very frustrating because that’s the reason we booked there to begin with. They couldn’t give us any money back because we booked through Expedia and said they were going to give us points on a Wyndham rewards account but didn’t give me the account number so I can’t access them. It’s 3 days later and I’m still waiting for my room deposit to come off of my bank account. Just not a great experience overall. Staff was nice just wish we would have felt like they really cared about the situation.
