Find Somewhere Else to Stay

The place was a dump there was actually a wrecked car parked in front of one of the rooms. There was a derelict that seemed to be hanging around. Even though the room was clean, it had an unpleasant smell. Mainly the hotel is really old and needs to be razed.

The bathroom window was wide open and would not close. Seems to be more like mini apartments now rather than a motel. There was not toilet paper, no soap and my very worst fear ROACHES 😞 I grew up coming here as a kid and I am terribly disappointed.

When arrived note on door to call a number. Hotel looked deserted. Window by front door to room was opened when arriving and would not lock in place. Bathroom window was busted out with plastic coverings it. Bugs in bed, bedspreads covered in stains. Shower faucet ran the time we were there. TV reception was terrible and no remote.

This Hotel is not not worth staying there

At first no was there to check us in. All the doors were locked. Couldn't get in. Our room was not at all the best. Curtains you could not close all the way so we had to figure a way to close them. Telephone was in the bottom drawer of the chester drawers. No coffee pot. One lamp did not work. The screw that holds the lamp shades both were gone. The plug in the wall the cover was cracked. Stains on the floor and the chair. Check out was the same as check in. No one to check us out. Could not get a bill for our stay. We had to take our room key put it where the others were at. Between the two doors. This hotel is in very deed in very bad shape. Even some other the other rooms from going to our room the curtains were down from the windows. We will not stay there again.

The room was dirty, there was no check in after 10 PM, they said they’d make an exception for me if I called them once I arrived, but it took me an hour to get my room once I arrived because the check-in location was difficult to find.

The room was disgusting. There were dead crickets on the floor between the 2 beds, dead flies on the ceiling in several areas, stains on the towels, stains on the carpet, didn’t want to touch anything. I would not recommend anyone ever stay here even if offered for free.

Upon arriving after booking thrugh Expedia. The office was closed so we called the # on the door. Lady showed up, checked me in. We walked over to the room and as I peer through the window, it looked as if someoe had just gotten out of the one bed. We entered and there were dirty used towels on the floor in and near the bathroom. There were empty water bottles and a bowl of microwave campbells soup on the desk. I went back to the lady and she agreed it was unacceptable. She quickly gave us a new room that was clean for the most part. Bed was cozy, and the water pressure in room 14 is LEGIT. Not a bad spot for a night or two if your in town for business, etc. Buffet is only on the weekends too :(

This was one of the worst stays I have had in a long while. The lobby was locked so I was unable to check-in for a prepaid reservation. There was a phone number to call for late check in-but it took over a dozen calls and over 20 minutes to get an answer. The room had dead bugs on the floor and the bedcovers were only a sheet and a bedspread, no blanket. I can't believe how much I paid for this place...
