The rooms are dirty as hell had a left over can on top of mircowave crumbs all over the floor i arrived late and was tired luckly i had 3 blankets in my car or i definitely would not have stayed
I love how affordable the place was for me, the microwave, and television looked brand new. Plenty of channels, the heat worked, and the lighting was great. Bed was also very comfortable.
I had no problems it was a wonderful stay the staff were nice and friendly very clean and put together nothin bad to say

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.
Where to begin. First it definitely did not seem anyone working there knew what was going on. Our room the air conditioning did not work, the window did not have a screen on it so when we openned it to try and cool down the room bugs would obviously come in so couldnt do that. The bathroom shower was peeling the moment we turned the water on. The floor had weird patch marks on it. I definetly would not book here again
Saw a baby Cockraoch, but atleast it was dead I guess.. Shower and bathroom were very wore and dirty.. Sign says recently renovated, so hopefully my room just hadn't been renovated yet? lol.. Beds were pretty hard. Ceiling panels missing in the halls, no elevator so handicap be aware. Stairwell smelt heavily of weed.. There was a plastic cup in the floor of the corner of the room, so makes me wonder how well it was cleaned 😬 lol but it was cheap!!

4/10 clean but not good
The hotel property is dated and needs a lot of work done. Staircases looked horrible. Hallway walls were painting but very sloppy. Same thing for the rooms. The room itself was clean but also need plenty of work. I've stayed in worse places but I definitely stayed in better. I would give this about a 4 out of 10
There were clumps of hair in shower. The night stand was covered with some type of sticky goo.

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.
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.
