The room were over all clean and the second room we was put in the AC did work better than the first room. But the only thing we have noticed is a mouse. And I am truly not for that.

Older property but great for budget minded travelers who do not need anything fancy, especially for the construction group. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Stayed almost 3 weeks while on project and multiple restaurants within walking or short drive. Stayed at other low budget places in area and this has been the best one.

Check-In staff is great, the morning house keeping lady would not stop knocking until you answered - though I had to yell through the door that I didn’t need service. The bedding, pillows, upkeep, and cleanliness of this hotel is what I would expect to see in a brothel; motel like at best.

Liked: Cleanliness
It was a budget price. Staff that we met were nice. Nothing fancy, that was ok, but the 3 pillows on the king were awful flat. Went to Ollies and bought two so we wouldn't have to suffer. The sink in our room was discolored and full of deep cuts and blemishes. So much so that it seemed unsanitary

We canceled our reservations at the hotel after seeing the conditions, as 3 individuals in the group would not even stay there after seeing the rooms. The whole hotel needs a major renovation. The staff that helped me there was very helpful and courteous.
