Disliked: Staff & service

It’s okay but could be better.

Check-in was fine but my first room had sheets that had many hairs on them and other gross things. I asked for new sheets and was given a new room because they said they couldn't get new sheets. The new room was much better and was an upgrade from the first so it worked out anyway. The minor hassle was somewhat annoying when I just wanted to go to bed. I asked the hotel front desk for information on a USB outlet for my phone charger and they said the room had none. Upon getting into the room there were multiple USB charge ports. I also asked the front desk if they had a vending machine upstairs and they said they didn't know. Hotel staff should be more knowledgeable, especially front desk staff. Checkout was fine and my overall visit was okay and I might return here.

Older building but well kept

For an older building, it's a wonderful place to stay. The mattresses felt new, no noise from the neighbors and the shower had great pressure. The carpet is older but in good condition. The paint is up to date. The hotel staff were all friendly and helpful. It does need an area around the beds to plug in devices for charging instead of across the room but that may not be a bad thing either. Only saw 1 small garbage can under the bathroom sink. If you're on the shorter side, my mom and I are both 5'3", you may want to bring a stool and the bed are a little high. Also, we rented a bedroom with 2 queen beds. We had a ways to walk to get to the room. My Mom walks with a cane so it wore her out a bit. The extra charge, $13 per night, was not advertised up front so that was a bit of a surprise. I could understand if the property was fenced in but they share their parking with a car rental company. Overall, it was a good experience and we would stay there again.

At 2:00am multiple dogs began barking very loudly. Took half an hour before owner clamed them down. No staff intervened. Took another half an hour for owner to get dogs out of the building while having loud conversation with other upset guests. Dogs continued barking in parking lot right outside of rooms. More than an hour of disturbance in the middle of the night before things calmed down. Mentioned to staff the next morning and there was no offer of a way to make it right.

The property looks like there was a remodel years ago that was never finished. Our room had screw holes in the walls, peeling wallpaper, stained floors and ceilings, and shredded curtains. We also found hair that was not ours woven through the towels and bedding.
