Room review
Worse place I've stayed in over 20 years. Room had exterior door and was not fot properly, so cold air all stay long. Empty cases of beer left under exterior stair casing. Mattress was as bad as what I slept on in bootcamp 50+ years ago. Says, inder renovation, but needs a tear down.

the staff was great... it was quite nice area to stay in... The room wasn't the best but it was a place to sleep for the night... It was little outdated and needs some attention but other then that it worked for us.

Decent, but not as advertised
It was ok if you only needed a bed and bathroom. The room we booked said it had a fridge and microwave, but when we got in the room it didn't have either. The room was clean and bed was comfortable, but not enough pillows for 2 people. Bathtub liner was cracked, but clean. Also no access to 3rd floor ice machine. So Everytime I wanted ice, I had to go down to the first floor lobby.

Avoid
Terrible experience. Booked our stay, went in the room and it was disgusting. Immediately went back to the desk and asked for a refund. Lady said that only a manager could refund my money and that he would give me a call. Never heard from him.

Really decent value and clean.
Room was clean, linens nice, heat/air a little confusing but call to desk cleared that ip easily. The stopper for tub (I like leisurely bath) needed a plastic bag stopper assist to work.. no big deal.
Appreciated elevator. I’ve stayed here numerous times over the years (I live close, stayed there, as this time, when house lost power)
They have upgraded over time.
I stayed twice this month. First day without power and again as the cold showers at home without power were…. Yeah.

The rooms need to be updated. One of the most uncomfortable commodes that I’ve used. The motel was easily accessible and parking was good. Office was a little inaccessible. Overall it wasn’t bad. I guess you get what you pay for.

We have stayed at this hotel many times and have never had any issues. The rooms are always clean. The staff is always helpful and nice. The beds are comfortable and the bed linen is always clean. I would stay here again. This stay I was upgraded to a bonus room at no charge. The lady checking us in notice we had a child staying with us and we was staying for two nights. I would recommend this hotel to anyone.

Very bad!
The worst hotel I have ever been to outdated unable to even walk into a proper lobby, staff said it had been closed since Covid. Asked to see the room first it was bad had a terrible smell. Then returned to the closet with a bullet proof window they now call their lobby and the employee said “ what do you expect from the cheapest hotel around.” Of course we couldn’t stay there and of course charged my card. Save yourself the headache find a different property.
