The expedia site said that pets stay free at this hotel. When I checked in, I was told that there was fee for pets and there were no pet rooms available. She then told me that my reservation would be canceled and I would get a refund. I hope that will happen. We had to find a different hotel.

Only positive was the bed was okay & bedding was nice and we paid $62. Otherwise, breakfast choices were: pop tarts, white bread with grape jelly or fruit loops and apple juice. No fruit options, every option was terrible for you! Room was not clean & smelled musty. Says there is a pool but it was closed. No microwave or coffee pot in rooms.

Hotel has a "by the hour" feel and reputation. Hard to find staff and the front desk and the lady was not friendly. She was lecturing housekeeping and then a guest in the common hallways for all to hear. Rooms are very basic, tv is small, no microwave in the room. Bed was comfortable. Definitely am old property in need of some TLC. Price was right for what I needed and the room.was quiet.

For the price its what you get. Older building, older rooms. but if you need just a night to sleep it will work. Asked for a late check out they said no even though the place wasn't busy. Hallway had a very strong smell cleaner.
