Slept in an ashtray

If you want to know what its like to sleep in a used ashtray then this is the perfect stay for you. The smell in our room was terrible. It was midnight when we arrived and too late to make any changes. It was difficult to sleep comfortably because it smelled so badly. Bed linens seemed clean. Breakfast did redeem our experience some as they had a non dairy option available and the yogurt parfait was enjoyable. Still, I would not recommend this hotel for a non smokers. I can’t say loudly enough how terrible it smelled, such that it gave this tired traveler a headache

Best thing about property was friendly staff and the breakfast. This hotel needs a huge update. Room and bathroom looked old and grungy. I would not choose this hotel if ever back in the area.

Stainless steel knobs, handles, and grab bars in the bathroom need to be cleaned more often. They were grimy and covered with soap scum.

Terrible smoke smell in room. Every time I got out of bed my foot stuck to some invisible nasty spot on the carpet. Towels were as thin and as absorbent as newspaper. I was hoping at least the free breakfast would have yogurt or a thaw and serve muffin/pastry, but no . I wouldn’t take my chances on the “eggs or sausage “.

The gps photos ahead of time showed that there was a lot connecting to it from next door for semis. Unfortunately it wasn't updated to show the large concrete barriers that blocked certain areas so it was a bit difficult to maneuver in and the trolley wheel busted off after using, it was pouring rain when we left so it was a haul to bring luggage to the vehicle. Dust on the lamp shades and bulbs by the bed, I cleaned off the bulbs. Other than that the room was pretty good. Pool wasn't open even though the hours should have been able to but key card didn't work on it. Staff was great and very friendly.
