This is just a very plain hotel. A few walls have damage or marks and that seemed to look bad in my opinion. The room was clean. The scrambled eggs at breakfast were really bad. I paid $175 (room and tax) for a Saturday night in October. It was extremely overpriced. I had a much nicer room in Jackson, MO at the Drury the night before for $50 less.

For the amount of money you pay for one night stays, youd think the pool would be clean the place outside of it was full of empty beer bottles and cigarette buts, the inside of the hotel was just dirty, the walls the floors, it just wasn't a good experience

This property was actually even better than its rating. The only thing that needed attention were the doorknobs, they are hard to deal with and noisy to use and should all be replaced.
