Good service.

The gentleman working when I booked called me to see if I had any special needs. He worked great with me to satisfy. I could of had a nicer room upstairs, but I am handicapped and can't climb stairs. He got me a room downstairs which was rough looking, but I told him it's fine. We only needed a place to lay down.

Great price but dated

The staff was very accommodating. They helped us out when some in our party arrived early. VERY pleasant at the front desk! The hotel is somewhat dated. Really could use a renovation. Old doors and worn fixtures look dirty, but it was clean. There was an old, stagnant smell in the room. Oddly, the clock in the room is set to run 30 minutes fast. Housekeeping was coming through the door at 9:30 when check out is at 10:00. I wondered if that was intentional. We felt safe and the price was right for us at the time.

Needs help

The room was clean, but very much in need of care. There were cracks in the wall, vanity mirror was shattered, toilet tank top was cracked through, and the water would not shut off in the tub. Son went down to the ice machine to get ice and there was a homeless person camped out in there. The front desk called the police to remove them but by then we were done.
