Liked: Cleanliness
Economic stay.
Property under renovation. Asked for additional pillows, it took a day as first guy asked did not provide, so only had extra pillows the second day. External doors slammed, noisy, for security. Door closure could be done much better. Water pressure good. You get what you pay for. We usually will not stay in such a place.
There were clumps of hair in shower. The night stand was covered with some type of sticky goo.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
heater was off when I got to room. I put it on high and went to bed. it never got warm in the room. got up and piled on my coat and clothes to stay warm
Heat didnt work in the first room I was given. Second room didnt have working heat either. Pic below is the shower. Disgusting! I checked out and went to a different hotel nearby.
You need to clean each room with a fine tooth and comb the paint off of the floor put a new mirror up, wash the windows. New curtains would hurt wouldn't hurt and furniture and pull the beds out and vacuum underneath them. Oh, let's not forget new sheets. Pulled all the top covers off and there was a stained fitted sheet.
The lawn was filled with dog 💩. The receptionist greets you from behind a glass safely wall, giving you the impression things might not be safe. The first room we were given had a broken door jamb meaning it couldn't be locked. The hotel smells like smoke or something stale.
The ad says breakfast is included but they don't even have coffee available.
But the room was cheap and allowed our dogs to stay for free so I guess you get what you pay for.
Building hasn’t been updated since the 80s, there’s a dirty cooler in the stairwell full of mystery liquid, the door keys only work half of the time, the beds are super uncomfortable, there’s zero elevators or accessibility, and there were roaches everywhere.
The hotel was poor condition due to major renovation. Needs a lot of repair and cleaning. Would not recommend staying there until all repair is completed. Scheduled to be finished in a few weeks.
Rude customer service and they have absolutely no idea how to handle customers. The customer service agent at the local Motel was rude and very disrespectful.
I didn’t stay. I went to look at the room and the power was out. I immediately gave the key back to the front desk and let them know I would not be staying and I didn’t even care about the refund. It looked abandoned. Ice Machine in the lobby was broken. The clerk didn’t give me anything to sign to verify my stay and it was through a security window not the counter. It was eerie. I didn’t even take anything in left the car running to leave immediately.
