Upon arrival the front desk attendants were courteous and friendly. They had a fan on the countertop blowing on them to stay cool. The air conditioning was not working. The first room they sent us to was so wet from inadequate ventilation flow. The floor looked as though it was just mopped and moisture was dripping off the refrigerator and bathroom toilet and shower walls. The bedding was damp. They moved us quickly into another room which was better. However, the lights didn’t work. There were ceiling tiles removed in the hallway.

When I arrived, I was check into a room that really did not meet my standards. I went back to the front desk, told her my concerns and she spoke to the manager. the manager showed me a different room and then went above and beyond to make sure all of my needs were meant. I would not have stayed had it not been for her! She was fantastic! It just goes to show that if you take a positive approach with management and give them a chance to resolve the issues you have, you just might be surprised at how well they do. I would give the staff, especially the Manager at this hotel an A++

Took over 1 hr to check in, we reserved 2 rooms, first try she put all of us in same room, then 2 different rooms, keys didn't work. Had to go back get keys to work, hall was full of rocks, dirt, the room smelled horrendous and was dirty. We went back asked for refund told had to send us check? Then found out charged wrong card, couldn't fix or give receipt. I expect a full refund.

Staff did what they could but they booked us in an occupied room. Second room was full of tools and apparently being remodeled, third room the TV didn't work. Promised a rebate, but they were gone by morning and that never happened. That aside, it was remarkably clean for a budget hotel. Once they get management figured out it'll be a good place to catch some zzz's
