While the staff was professional and they kept the property decent, the fact that Expedia couldn't reach the owner of the site to offer a refund for the days I didn't spend there was what warranted this rating. Otherwise, a decent, affordable stay.

I checked into this hotel last night and was bitten by bedbugs. I reported it to the front desk this morning and left photos of the evidence, the dead bedbugs, and a message for the manager. My skin is still red, swollen, and itchy. The hotel has yet to offer any explanation.

Christy

Liked: Staff & service
Disliked: Amenities
The hot water barely lasted 5 minutes. There were no markings to turn the heater on accurately so it didn’t seem to work. The only breakfast option was waffles and the coffee tasted stale at 7:00 in the morning. I asked for a no smoking room but when I walked in the room reeked of smoke or something. I was in a room right along the highway so the noise was constant all night long. Also the phone in the room did not even work to call the front desk.
