It was understaffed, however the staff who were there were very sweet and helpful. Because of understaffing the rooms were not super clean and we had a broken window. But I don't feel it was a reflection on the staff working at that time.

The property is in need of an update but the most important thing was that it is clean. The lady on reception was welcoming and friendly - she seemed to do pretty much everything around the property. A very good stay, thank you.

If all you want is a bed, this is the cheapest option in town. Bathroom sink was clogged. Microwave was missing the plate that rotates. Very limited channels on TV. I'm not too picky, and all I really needed was a place to lay down. I took the $40 bucks I saved and went out for an evening meal.

Try checking g in at 8pm. They sent us to a room with no number on it. Door wa hard to open and room smelled like smoke. When back ask for a non smocking room that we booked. Made us wait another 15 minutes so they could clean a room. Most of the doors were open with rooms that had not been clean. Don’t go there !

I arrived @ 3:15, check in was 3 o’clock. There was nobody @ the desk, so we push the button that said “ring for service” and waited 15 minutes, pushed the button again, nothing. Called the hotel and left a message to call me when I could check in. Walked the halls and heard “there’s someone waiting to check in.” Response was “Leave me alone, I’m taking a shower.” Left and got something to eat and returned 1.5 hours later. Miss thing had taken her shower but not ready to work. I asked if I could check in and was told her Expedia account was just canceled so I would have to go down the street. The hotel down the street smelled so much better and was way friendlier. Charges to my card will be disputed!

Room was uninhabitable; was told door sticks , but was being repaired, also needs shower curtain replaced and housekeeping would take care of this. We checked in and went to drop off bags- confusion in finding room 220, numbers were removed from door; door in disrepair and frame needing completely replaced. No towels, no soap- shower curtain ripped off rod. No curtain or curtain rod on the window in the room. Left to go to town event and returned around 10:30 pm, key would not open door, went to desk and no desk clerk available- supposed to be at desk until 11:30 pm. Many customers with other problems, kept ringing bell, no one showed up- made phone call left message that we were unable to get into the room. Never heard back from anyone!
