Front desk guy asked at least 5 times if we had pets. Each time we said no. He said we still had to put a $50 deposit. At checkout he asked AGAIN if we had pets. While the room was ok, this place was very sketchy.

Had to wait for the receptionist to get three people rooms for nearly two hours. The room wasn’t that clean, and there were wasps and roaches inside the room.

Room smelled like cigarettes and it seemed like they were working in the room right next door so you heard drilling, hammering, sawing all from morning until evening. The floor was VERY dirty my socks turned black from walking on it. Also I had a random charge from the hotel for $28.75 called about it and they said they never saw the charge don’t know if they were lying or what. It was nice for the cheap price but don’t think I’ll stay here again.

The room was fairly cleaned until you look at the bed… there was blood on the pillowcase and stains on the bed. Not to mention the molding spots on the ceiling.

I didn’t even get to check in. My card was charged. I was even given a confirmation number. The front desk employee said that the digital card that was sent said “declined”. I was sent away and unless you’ve been living under a rock you would know this part of the country is going through an unprecedented winter storm. On the bright side maybe I’ll get a nice warm and cozy hospital room when I make it to the emergency room on foot to be treated for frostbite
