Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
VERY, VERY strong smoke smell throughout all rooms and on entire property. First room we went to was supposed to be a smoke free room but clearly someone had smoked inside and they didn’t clean it well afterwards at all. Second room they gave us was the “upgraded” room. It also smelled of smoke but was tolerable although gross still. Run down, not maintained well at all. Lots of wear and tear, broken cosmetic things all over room and bathroom and all around property. Stains all over carpet. Broken tiles in bathroom on walls and floors. Fire alarm/smoke detector in our room had been removed and not replaced. I think that is against the law? Tv was broken, it had lines and lines of broken pixels. The fridge didn’t do great, a little cooler than room temperature but not cold. No conditioner for showering, just a single tiny bottle of shampoo, and a bar of soap. Towels were apperance wise clean but were “crunchy” and did not feel clean. Bed was comfortable and sheets were clean. Air conditioner did work, kept room comfortable temperature but not sure how well it would work if the outdoor temps were any higher. We will NEVER stay here again when we come up to to visit our daughter. We will be happy to pay more and just go to the Quality Inn a few miles away.

- I got this room to attend a funeral and was looking for cheapest option so I wasn't expecting much. On the postive side, the room was clean and secure, locks worked ok, shower and toilet ok, and TV worked ok. Bed was comfortable but terrible pillows. This property has not been updated it seems in decades and is run as cheaply as possible. Bathroom light non functional and instead of repairing they just stuck a torch light in the corner. But the most bothersome thing is the absolute rudeness of the office attendant, a very mean old woman who would not speak to me and literally threw the card key at me. Really started the stay off wrong, like I'm sorry to bother you for staying at your hotel and needing a key...

Towels, sheets, and room were clean. A bit of road noise in the room as it is on a busy road. Wawa conveniently located next door. By no means fancy, but very good for the price.
