Stay away

Do not stay at this hotel. There was a hole in the outer window pane in our room, there were multiple light bulbs burned out (the light over the bathroom sink was one of them), the sheets were not changed while we were there, we ran out of soap in the shower, there were only two bath towels and two wash cloths per day, the available television channels was very limited, the floor in our room was not cleaned, and the chairs in the lobby were extremely worn. They had an entire section roped off that looked like they used to serve breakfast. It just seemed as though no effort was being put into the place.

Horrible Condition!

This hotel should be closed down! It is in horrible condition! The smell was horrible, there is damage to the hotel all over, holes in the walls stuffed with Kleenex, mold in the bathroom, damaged carpet, cigarette burns in the duvet in a non-smoking room, noise through the walls. Way too much to mention! I can’t believe I paid $179:night to stay in this dump! Worse place I have ever stayed!

Great location, good hotel, needs updating

Front desk people were really awesome. Jeff Is a great guy and very knowledgeable! Hallway and a few things need to be updated. Room was comfortable but also needs to have some touch ups too. I would definitely stay there again though. I will say there is NO BREAKFAST though.

Pay for what you get I guess.

The receptionist was a nice guy. I got in late around midnight. There were 3 young guys smoking out front. Place is needs updating and a deep cleaning. I got a non smoking room that still smelled like smoke. I felt uncomfortable staying. Thankfully it was only one night. A plus is they do allow pets. I didn’t bring a dog though.

I've seen worse

Very friendly staff. Plenty of parking. Relatively clean and a modern bathroom. However... Mattresses sucked, shower didn't drain well, and the pillows and towels were pretty rough. Asked if there was a different room that might have better mattresses. They let us look at another room which was available, but it wasn't any better. Take this all in the context that this about was the cheapest option we could find, so there is that.

A good low-budget hotel.

It is an old building, but the people operate the hotel are trying to do their best for the customers. I would say the hotel is reasonable for the price.
