Our room was clean, breakfast was good, staff was kind and helpful. It was full when we stayed and everyone seemed to be having a good time.... It was REALLY not OK to have the only way to reach upper floors be through an unlocked exterior stair well. The cement stairwell was not locked so anyone could gain access to the hotel and it was so narrow that it was difficult getting your bags up to and down from the room.

The hotel and room was clean but the shower curtain/liner needed to be changed out as it smelled very much like mildew. Other than that, our stay was good.

Very nice and affordable room. Rooms and property are very clean.We stayed 2 nights. We didn't use pool but saw staff cleaning it and it looked well maintained. Breakfast was well stocked and tasty. Housekeeping cleaned our room which we haven't seen much of at other hotels since the pandemic. Big plus was a complimentary charging station for our EV. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again with my family.

The room was comfortable and quiet. The hotel really needs some upkeep in all areas. The pool was closed and the elevators were out of service. The breakfast was okay but again, everything needed some attention in the lobby. Not terrible,but some sprucing up is in order. I guess I got what I paid for because it was substantially less expensive than surrounding properties and I was glad I could find a room on a busy weekend for under a hundred. I did get a good night sleep, however because the room was fine. That was the most important thing.

When I interacted with staff, they were all very friendly. However, there was a used washcloth in the room. The towel rack was ready to fall off the wall. The conditioner was empty. One elevator had the lights but no cover for the floors and the other had no lights working. However, I'd have been okay with all of that if it had felt safer. It isn't a bad neighborhood or anything, but I came in late at night (after midnight), and no one was at the front desk or anywhere around it. I knew what room I had because I was joining my aunt there. I literally walked into the hotel, went all the way to the back where the elevators were, and up to my room without encountering anyone from the hotel. The front door was unlocked, so anyone else could have done the same.

This hotel used to be a place I stayed at often. Management appears to be going into bankruptcy. The elevator, hot tub, and pool were all broken. The breakfast was watered down where it could be. The dry cereal hadn’t been refilled for a long time. This hotel is truly in a very sad state. I would say book Motel 8 or the Rhode House Inn and you’ll have better accommodations. There is nothing wrong with either hotel mentioned above but people often book with BW for a bit of an upgrade. In this case, save your money. So sad. I used to enjoy staying here.
