Our room's beds were clean and comfortable, but room itself was sketchy. No fire detector, floor looks like there was water damage and buckeled that someone tried to fix by using screws, the shower head is being held up by masking tape, curtains needed replacing. The place needs a good renovating. Coffee was great, though.

Long day with a more uncomfortable end

Got to room, without bed being redone from past stay. Debris in corner of the room, furniture in very poor condition. Could not be moved because there were no more rooms. Was not offered a refund and had to stay with no where else to go.

Stay away

No hotel lobby. Checked in and drove around back and it was clear this hotel wasn’t wasn’t a hotel but rather a long term rental unit. Decided to leave without even checking into the room as this place wasn’t as advertised.
