Sue

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Not only outdated but ceiling light cover was broken. No way to take a bath as there is no stopper for tub and only the shower water comes out. Beds looked like the covers were just pulled up after the previous guest. Wall hair dryer was removed. The room was large and was the only positive comment I can give. Extremely overpriced for the condition of the room. Travel further for a better experience!

The room was filthy. Mirrors were not clean. Sinks, and counters were disgusting, I had old gum on my nightstand. The latch to keep you safe inside your room was busted off and not replaced, cracks in the floors full of hair and dirt, splatters on the wall, bed was hard as a rock, like sleeping on a box spring. Place was absolutely disgusting.

A place to lay our heads

We needed a place to stay for the night and this place was affordable for us. The bed was comfortable and the stay was quiet. My only complaint was that the heat was tricky to use and during the night I had to get up to turn it back up because it got very cold in the room. Overall the place was great for what we needed, a place to sleep.
