Thumbs down!!

I never leave reviews but i am this time in hopes that nobody will have to experience what I did. I paid over 300 for 2 queen bed and the shower was broke so took a lot to turn on and there was a leak on the bathroom floor. I let the front attendant know and she said “I will make a note of it. “ They didn’t even try to accommodate. The breakfast was just waffles and bagels or English muffin but the bagel was very hard. Worst experience ever.

It met my needs. I was in a road trip with my 2 dogs and I was pretty tired. I needed a shower and a comfy bed and that was accomplished. $20.00 pet fee per dog was cheaper than most and I appreciated that. I did have to wonder about their policy of having the ground floor pet free rooms and the upstairs for people with pets. It would make sense to have guests with pets on the ground floor for easier access, as it was not easy carrying my belonging and my two dogs on a leash up the stairs. But, it’s their hotel, not mine. The bed, linens, towels smelled and felt clean. I didn’t get woken up by outside noise or unruly guests. There was not a lot of traffic and a convenient place to take the dogs to pee.

Very noisy a/c fan. My pictures would tell all but the Hotels com app won't let me add them. Don't look behind furniture or under the bed you'll find trash and cobwebs. Cigarette burn on the comforter. The room we stayed in needs a good cleaning and updating. The wifi was so weak I couldn't use my Chromebook. Positives: the night check-in gal was helpful getting the TV to work and providing a loaner hair dryer. The bed was comfortable. We stayed because other accommodations weren't available do to a nearby state H.S. track championship meet.

Stuck in 1970 time warp and absolutely one of the single most worst hotel stays ever. Broken furniture, missing lightbulbs, room filled with gnats, some didnt survive the sing exploration, blood on the bedding, breakfast waffles with no syrup. Crystalized honey in a distorted, melted jug that someone tried to microwave in an attempt to liquify it back to 2025.

Less expensive, but worth it!

Inexpensive compared to some of the other properties in the area. We were just exhausted after a day of travel and looking for a place to crash for the night. It was not quiet, but when you're tired, you don't really notice. Besides that, the noise helped wake us up in the morning. The room was clean and comfortable. You can't really ask for more than that. We didn’t realize that there was breakfast, so that was a pleasant surprise. It was well worth the stay just adding in the breakfast. Good variety of items, plus we made ourselves waffles! If I need to do something similar in the future, I would definitely pick this place again.
