Nothing has been updated painted or anything to improve the room in what looks like at least 30 years. 2 twin beds were crammed in and when leaving the manager/owner is taking pictures of the wash rag I used to take off my makeup?!?!

Clean Room

The room was inexpensive, drastically so for a football weekend, clean and comfortable. The walls were thin. I will stay there again.

First, the place was disgustingly dirty and run down. Horrible conditions. And second, on Expedia the hotels listing stated it was pet friendly and allowed dogs for a $10 a night charge. When we arrived there was a sign on the counter that stated no dogs allowed. I told her that the website stated dogs were allowed, but she said no dogs were allowed. I showed her their hotel’s page on Expedia but she didn’t care.

You get waaay less than what u pay for. The staff was rude and never apologized or even tried to compensate for their wrong doings. Most importantly, this facility should be shut down due to exposing and engaging in all major health hazards!!
