“Nonsmoking” room smelled strongly of smoke. Asked front desk to remedy, they fogged the room with air freshener which gives me a headache and only masked the real problem. I can feel the bed springs on the bed. Not a pleasant experience at all.

Poorly maintained property. I was in a "non-smoking room" that smelled like it belonged to a chain-smoker. Furniture was dirty, stained and tearing. Staff was very friendly and the price was cheaper than most alternatives.

OK hotel

The best thing about this hotel is the waffle maker at the kitchen where they serve complimentary breakfast every morning. Other than that, it’s a really old place and it’s suited for out of state workers.

First we started in room 305 the air didn't work. The guy at the front desk claimed to fix it and said we could change rooms in the morning. The other room we rented for our daughter had a guy with a backpack every morning and night knocking on the door. All the doors on the 3rd floor. The location is convenient and the staff are nice but stay at your own risk.

Property should not be on Expedia. It’s awful. Possibly the worst hotel I have ever stopped in. It stinks of drugs, dank and mould. Insects walk the floors. Black mould around the bathroom. Windows not cleaned in decades if ever. Drug zombies walk the streets outside. $395 for two nights. Left after one. It was one night too many. Formal complaint to Expedia claiming leaving due to insect infestation was not successful despite photos of creatures on the floor in the room. Don’t bother with paying for Expedia insurance it’s a scam. They don’t pay out despite this being one of their valid reasons. As a seasoned Expedia user iam disgusted
