laminate / vinyl floor was layed improperly. It felt like walking on a dirty sponge. The glue they used was visible though cracks in the flooring.Pretty disgusting. Then i noticed in the morning that the sheets on the bed were badly stained ewwww. Next was the very poor job of painting. Splaters on barhroom counter. Looked like that in bathtub also. I didnt look at it closely but it was either paint or dirt. It was just an awful place.

The stool was filthy. The first room had a large amount of poop under the stool seat and pee on the stool rim. I asked for a second room and it had the same thing. The second room had a fresh stain on the sheet. The property was nice enough and there was a great restaurant next door but the bathroom and linen were filthy.

Could Have Been Better

I chose this hotel because of the Retro decorated lobby in the pictures but I learned when I arrived that the Retro pictures are not current. The hotel is in a renovation project that was nowhere near complete. My room had 25% of the curtains falling off the rack; I had to try to put them back on the wall without any connectors. The bed did not have any top sheet or bedspread. Their washing machine was broken and they had just gotten it fixed that day so I didn't get my towels until 7:00 PM. The hall from the parking lot to the rooms was not locked. On the Pro Side, the room was clean, quiet and in a safe location and the price was way below their competitors. For a One Night stay, I would stay there again but for a 7 Night stay, I would look into staying somewhere else.

Property management need training . The environment is in bad shape. Nothing would make me stay here ever again. Bathroom had bugs dead on floor. Light shade was on top of vanity. Towel not washed and smell dirty. No soap. People yelling at night. Doors being slammed all night. Management would not to do anything about it. Just overall this location has won the worst of the worst.

Julie at the front desk was so helpful and friendly. They are remodeling and the first room we got had a smell that, we believe, was coming from the housekeeping area, 2 doors down. She moved us further away and the smell was gone. Once the remodeling is complete it will be a good place to stay.

This place should be shut down. The listing said there would be a fridge etc. but there wasn’t. It’s like they are remodeling and still trying to rent out the crappy rooms.
