Beter than we expected

We were a little reserved to stay here, but we were pleasantly surprised when we go tthere. We were doing a local event and there is no place else as close. We pulled the trigger. Once we were in our room it wasn't bad. Freshly remodeled, newer matress, clean sheets and such. Fresh paint too! Not too bad for the price for sure

This is an older property. When we drove in, there was an older what appeared to be homeless couple eating with all their stuff laying in the shrubs and rocks. The rooms had no amenities at all. It was clean and did not smell of cigarettes but the hallways did smell of cigarettes.

Whole building smelled like weed- for non-smoking room this was nasty. The whole place smelled like weed. Run down, dirty, dont think they even tried to clean my room. Aged, basic maintenance hasn't occurred in years, old and nasty. Avoid this one for sure.

If this is hell, i will go to church more.

When we arrived at the hotel , I walked in and was greeted by a very nice receptionist. I thought all would be well. Yeah I was wrong. When I received the room key which was an actual key , I was a little concerned. I was told that my room was around the back side of the hotel and go up the stairs. When I went to the park the car there were two ladies that walked out to where the dumpsters were and literally hopped in the dumpsters. I make my way up. To the second floor to where my room is according to mikey and I opened the door and the first thing I smell is marijuana. Even though all the signs are over the hotel clearly state no smoking. As we walked down the hall next to my room was a broken soda machine and by broken I mean shattered. Once I get all my stuff inside the room.I went to walk next door to the gas station to pick up a water.Walking through the area next to the hotel was a bar which Hey, that's but I was accosted by a lot lizard.Who said for $20?I could have some fun. I then walked to the gas station and no words describe what was there. The windows to the hotel room where even worse.It looks like it had not been washed. In several weeks.
