If you like dive motels this is the place for you if you have your tetanus shot. There’s junk cars in the backside parking lot and if living on the edge is your thing then again this is the place for you. This was an expensive stay for us, we didn’t stay and opted to pay for another hotel. Good luck if you decide to stay. They could at least try to update a few things. Even a coat of paint would help.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
the non-smoking area and room smelled strongly of cigarette smoke which was impossible for us to handle due to health concerns. The shower also took 15 minutes to even feel warm. We did talk to the person checking us in and he did give us a different room with an outside door. this room did smell clean and free of cigarette smoke. Office type chairs in both rooms had some damage to them.

This was an unexpected surprise for an older property as our stay here was quite comfortable. The king size bed was very nice, the area was quiet, the shower had good water pressure and the price was great. We weren't expecting much but we actually stayed another night because it was so convenient and comfortable. We would definitely recommend it and will stay here again when visiting the area.

This place is so dirty it’s filthy. It looks like it hasn’t been cleaned for the price that I paid. This seems like it should only be about 40 bucks a night. I have to be honest I mean, I found so much dirt in the bathroom and it just doesn’t look like it had been clean. I did check the bed. I mean there’s tears in the blanket stains on the sheets. It smells like smoke here cause it is a smoking room but it’s pretty disgusting. I would not recommend staying here everything is dirty. I disinfected my hands after every time I touched anything in here totally grows.
This is a bathroom with an ant and there was spiders and the floor hasn’t been cleaned and it’s just gross

Literally the rudest people I have ever encountered. They try and charger a deposit? But have smoking rooms ? Which is weird most hotels due deposits for people who smoke and aren’t suppose too ? The room itself is only worth half of what i paid for the room! The owners stood outside my door rushing me to get out ! It was rude and uncomfortable

Made my nose bleed

No mention of a $50 damage deposit when booking that was due at check-in. I'm 66 with good credit. The room had an overwhelming chemical smell from room deodorizers or cleaning products. So much so that it caused my sinuses to bleed. Did someone die in there? was someone making meth? Ironically it was a no-smoking room that still smelled a bit of cigarette smoke. However, the room and hallways were clean. Although the shower stall was slightly smaller than a coffin.

I’m pregnant and came here to stay because I was low on money. The room had no working ac/heat and when we complained the hotel manager said we lied without even checking. He then called to leave a voicemail after we left that he thinks we smoked and took 50$. I’m pregnant and don’t smoke and can’t be around smoke so this is extremely sad. I feel like I’ve been scammed.

Photos of listing were deceptive. Place looked like arriving to a horror movie. Rusted out vehicles with flat tires in the parking lot. The office was at the back of the building. Windows and ac units were rusted out. Due to being in town for an event and no other rooms at other hotels available, we stayed. The room itself was somewhat clean however there were body wash, shampoo and conditioner bottles attached to the shower wall. All bottles were empty. The sink was in a different area, kitchenette. At night there were a small group of loud men in the corner of the building. All in all, didnt feel welcome, safe or clean.

I stayed for two nights here for the renaissance festival. The man at the front desk was helpful in making sure I didn't have to switch rooms (I booked the second night last minute under a separate booking) and the room had no issues. It even had daily cleaning which I never expect anymore. Exceeded expectations, I will likely stay here next year.
