The location and exterior of the hotel were fine, but the room itself felt very outdated and had an odd smell. While I was checking in, another guest was complaining about bedbugs, which was concerning. Most of the front desk staff were rude and unhelpful; only one receptionist was actually friendly. The parking lot felt very sketchy, and they still charge $33 for it, which definitely didn’t feel worth it. Breakfast was extremely limited and the same every day — you might as well go to Starbucks and spend the same amount for something better. Overall, I would not recommend staying here.

I am not one to leave reviews for anything but this one needs one. Also, I hate to be a negative nelly but unfortunately it needs it. Upon walking into our room we were hit with the worst mildew/musky smell. We opened the sliding door and room door just to get fresh air. The carpet is beyond disgusting and the wallpaper is falling off the wall. In the middle of the night my daughter began having trouble breathing while she was sleeping. The next morning I noticed sooo much debris/dust bunnies on the ceiling above her bed from the vent. Clearly hasn't been cleaned in I don't know how long. The TV had no signal so we couldn't watch anything. We were able to talk to someone about our issues and they stated they would have someone come up and do a deep clean of the room and fix the TV. It was never done. I will give the property at least one positive. There included (paid $40) breakfast is pretty good. With that being said, Save your money and go somewhere else.

The room was in worse condition than we expected. Staining and a bit run down. Fridge and tv weren’t plugged in when we got to the room. There were enough outlets to plug the fridge, tv and light/lamp in where they needed to, so you had to choose. Beds seemed to be clean. Staff was courteous.
