Awful bed, deafening air conditioner. With a Days Inn a few minutes away, no reason to stay here.

After another hotel in the area cancelled my reservation, I ended up here for a quick overnight to get some sleep. It was a last minute booking and maybe some of the other rooms are ok, but 217 is in the back section of the hotel. Listing did not specify if it was a smoking or non smoking room. Cigarette holes in the bedding, heavy cigarette smell, secondary safety lock broken on the door. Old air conditioners sitting on the walkway outside, rust from the upstairs walkway on the lower walkway, shopping carts on another area of the walkway. IMO the hotels.com rating and the price point are not deserved

Won't stay here again.

This is the only place in my three years of traveling to copy my driver's license. When I asked for it back in the morning. They need to join the 21st century and simply put a security on the credit card. The configuration was also bizarre. Our room number 112 was actually on the second floor. The really sad part was the "adult" store sign view from the room. It was huge ...
