Room was not clean. Had a very bad chemical Oder made me almost have a Allergic reaction. This hotel is not for a place to stay unless you're a construction worker looking for a cheap place to sleep.

OK for the price.

When checking in the hostess was not very welcoming, I felt like I was interrupting their family party. The room was clean, however the bed sheets were either not clean or in need of being replaced, they looked dirty or dingy. The top sheet was however a crisp white so I pulled it up over the pillows and slept on it. The continental breakfast was all carbohydrates and the coffee creamer was powdered so I waited until I got to the airport to purchase a coffee and skipped breakfast.

Outdated room. Stained and ripped carpet-had a rectangle shaped hole cut out of it in front of the door. Stingy with the coffee, and cups. Musky smell throughout, shower curtain was dirty at the bottom. Loud voices several rooms down from us. 2nd floor-no elevator so had to carry our luggage a flight of stairs.

Staff was nice. Looks like a family run establishment. The room seemed clean and smelled clean but the sheets and pillow cases had stains all over them. For what we paid it was good but not great. We would probably consider staying again. Breakfast left something to be desired. It was quiet during our stay which was nice as the hotel was fully booked.

Gord

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort

Low end facility for medium price.

Poor sleep, paper thin walls, noisy room, temperature was extremely difficult to control, awoke a few times either shivering or sweating. Old hotel that is in need of maintenance, towel bar was just barely hanging on, doors drag on the floor, water pressure is quite low, lots of little things. Hotel is a long ways away from the main restaurant areas, likely the furthest from the highway by a few miles. The rooms still smell of smoke from many years of being smoked in.
