Fine if you're desperate

Overall, hotel was dirty and worrisome to stay in. Did not find bed bugs; did find homeless sleeping on couch in the entryway. Breakfast was available in the morning and waffles were good.

Terrible. Do not stay here.

The photos are entirely misleading. The toilet was broken and wouldn't flush. I was given a pencil to dip into the tank to dislodge the flapper for a flush. The hairdryer sparked and smoked, and I was afraid the smoke alarm was going to go off. But then I found that the alarm had been removed. The floors in the room and hallways were not vacuumed, and there was litter on both.

I arrive at 8:00 am because my flight was delayed I checked in for a 2 night stay. I made it until 4:00pm. I checked out because it was so bad. Carpet was dirty and stained, I found garbage on the floor that was not cleaned up. Shower was old scratched and rusted. Molding falling off the wall. I did not expect a lot for what I paid but I did expect clean. It was worth the loss of the 2 nights I paid and the d yea I paid for a new hotel to leave early.

I liked that it's close to my relatives. I didn't like the noisy air conditioner on the ceiling. The grout in the bathroom is dirty (poorly applied). No elevator! I had to manage a huge suitcase to the second floor. The staff was ok (no complaints). I cancelled my reservation after one night.

Do not stay here

This entire stay was a disaster. I knew it was older and outdated bc of the photos, but given we didn’t have many options bc of weekend event in the area, it wasn’t a big deal. At first glance, it looked ok. Beds were made and it wasn’t terrible. I walked into the bathroom and it was obvious it had not been cleaned. There was hair all over the bathtub and on the shower walls. The toilet did not flush. There was an insanely annoying buzzing sound about every minute that went on all night in or around the desk. (We looked but could not find where it was coming from.) The tv was glitching and remote did not work so it stayed on all night. (Idk why I didn’t just think to unplug it—that was my fault, but should I even have to?) I asked for a different & clean room, the man said they did not have any other rooms. I asked him to come and clean the bathroom. He showed up 10 mins later with a plastic glove, removed SOME of the hair, and no cleaning supplies. The wall was stained with hair color from hair left there. I asked him to properly clean & not just remove the hair, and all he kept saying was “Sorry, ma’am.” After a horrible nights rest bc of buzzing sound, I went to the front desk to check out & discuss all the issues. While discussing, another lady approached as well saying their bathroom was equally as dirty with hair all over it. We bought baby wipes so we would not have to shower there. There wasn’t any effort to make anything right. Pay the extra $ and stay elsewhere!
