It was clean , staff was nice , parking was easy price was good for that particular hotel , Although my Ac wasn’t really working properly so room got humid at times, microwave was really really old and room needs upgrading and not patched up work. But overall it was comfortable.

The rule size was good but everything was outdated or improperly repaired. The door to the room was hard to open and close. Numerous broken tiles on the floor. The rug was outdated and very old. Overall it just did not seem like maintenance is properly kept up. Handicap spots out in front of the building do not have a ramp immediately in front of them. You have to go down the line of parking spots until about the 6th or 7th spot until there is somewhat of a rant and even then the ramp has a big lip on the front of it

My Husband and I have stayed at the Gold Star Inn since back in the days when it was the Econolodge. The Suites have 2 huge rooms, a very comfortable bed, a full size refrigerator (we bring lots of frozen food, so, the fridge is very important), and the price is right!

Gross

I would have done zero stars if it were an option. Dirty, holes in walls, smelly, and my mom even contracted COVID while there... not sure if that is related to the facility... location is awful. Actually left one day early loosing 100$ but just felt like it was a better call than one more night there!

Needs A Lot of Upgrades

The check-in was good. We had a hard time getting the room key to work. I think its time to upgrade the locks. The AC unit was falling off the wall, the shower curtain was moldy, that's disgusting! The place needs an upgrade. I understand if you don't want to do breakfast but maybe just some coffee would be nice. Won't be stayong again.

Trying to Update

While it looks like they are trying to make some changes, the smell of stale cigarettes was so strong. Our room was large but the bathroom had dirty floors, bedspread was spotted with bleach and the room didn't have a coffee maker.

I want my $$ back. Mold in ac unit. Patched walls. OLD tv. One remote. Smells like mold. Musty. No coffee maker kitchen no pots pans glasses. Microwave broken handle. This property should have never been on this site. Always had good experience before on this site. VERY Disappointed. Felt like I would get bed bugs. Would have left but paid already. And left first thing in morning

Good for the price

Smells very heavily of cigarettes throughout (even in nonsmoking rooms). Spacious room but AC is only in bedroom, bathroom was cramped, and bed was uncomfortable.

This was one of the worst maintained facilities we have stayed at. Door latch was broken, and desk, walls and doors were pretty beat up. The room was a good size and bed and couch were comfortable, but stove top did not look safe and old minifridge was still there even though new one was in the room.
