The front desk young lady was so kind and helpful. I felt very welcomed and taken care of. I would definitely stay again!

Hotel was under construction so breakfast was not available and ice machine was down as well. Room was decently clean, beds were soft. A little noise throughout the night.

Awesome. Room was very nice and everything worked. Safe area with lots of food very close. Property is under some renovations and it def needs it but overall, especially for the price, the stay was fantastic.
Staff was nice but the rooms are very run down. They are renovating the upstairs so I am sure it will be nice eventually, but as of now they shouldn't be charging what they charge for rooms in that condition.
No hot tub, no pool, no fitness center, no breakfast. 1 great front desk worker, 1 that was good, and another that always seemed bothered by anything you needed. Room was good though. But one of my least favorite hotel stays ever.

The hotel had no power. We were not able to enter the property due to multiple emergency vehicles. We found other accomidations.
Completely under construction, no breakfast being served and ice machine broken. So many things broken in the room and blinds missing slats so was like daylight all night long with parking lot lights

the 1st room's bed was very poor, you could feel the springs inside the mattress, bathroom door didn't close, no breakfast,
It needs some serious remodeling which they said they were planning for soon. Breakfast was not a hot breakfast as promised. Coffee and cereal! No juice or even toast.
Bed was very comfy.
Hole in floor nect to tub. Moved rooms; next room the door lock was messed up and work table was almost ready to fall down. Last; breakfast was to be included but was under repair.
Yes, they were remodeling but the couch in the room we stayed in was extremely stained up and absolutely disgusting. I was very uncomfortable with anybody in my party sleeping on it. There was also not one trashcan in the hotel room.
Bed was very comfortable, and the sheets were clean at least

Area is quiet and not a really busy place. Got snowed in and couldn’t get out of parking lot so obviously couldn’t leave, was given 2 days free. There’s no breakfast ever, not sure why it’s even Listed. Staff is nice and room was clean, was moved to another room because the microwave and fridge didn’t work. 2 vending machines soda machine accepts cash/card and snack machine only accepts money and only $1 bills and coins.
Room was disgusting. Hall way was disgusting. No water pressure. Checking in the woman was as friendly. Checking out I had to stand there for over 30 minutes waiting on someone to come. I asked for a receipt to be sent to my email, no receipt was sent. The lady was rude and acted like I was a burden. The blinds were broken so bad people could see into the rooms.
