The room itself was very dated. Not bad, just dated. There were bulbs missing in the bathroom for what i assume is a heat lamp. The switch for the bathroom light was behind the full size fridge so we didnt even know it was there for 2 days. It was clean, though. The front desk/lobby was always locked so if we needed something, ie toliet paper we had to call the number with our cell.

We picked this hotel for its proximity to the Shakespeare Festival. Really couldn't beat how close it was--made for a lovely walk. Definitely a quirky little hotel. Our AC unit was falling off the wall and we could see light around it from outside so there is no way it was working correctly. Even though it was set to 68 I was so hot the first night. They do charge per person, which was annoying because I was paying for the two bed room anyway, and the two extra kids I had really didn't use up much resources. We did have a full size fridge in our room, bathroom had a heat lamp and bidet BUT the bathroom products weren't filled and our TP ran out the first day (they didn't leave an extra roll in the room). Breakfast options were pretty pared down and 50% were gone/empty with no one around to refill. I was more pleased with the price vis a vis the condition of the hotel before they charged me more for my two extra occupants.

Definitely what you think of when the term "roach motel" is brought up. The walls were filthy, there was some kind of mold growing on the phone, and something sticky was all over the little office chair. There was no toilet paper when we first arrived, the curtain grommets were broken and barely closed, and the air conditioner sounded like it was going to explode at any moment. The staff was friendly and the breakfast provided was nice, but overall definitely not somewhere I would recommend.

I can’t complain too much because we needed a place that took dogs. But I won’t be giving it a five star review either. It felt like staying in a 3rd world country. The room was quite out of date and run down.

It’s an old hotel with quirky room layout. They keep it clean and staff is friendly. Full size refrigerator in the room is great if you’re on a long stay. It’s in the old downtown area of the city with many interesting shops and eateries. The price was the lowest in the area.

The WORST hotel/experience in 50 yrs of traveling!

We did not stay at this hotel due to the deceptive practices of the owner and the deplorable condition of the assigned room. Upon arrival, the owner was absent, only appearing after a ten-minute wait and a direct phone call. He then processed a deposit – an amount significantly higher than deposits at three other hotels in the vicinity. Crucially, after securing my payment and ID, he informed me the original room was unavailable and was giving us a room with three king size beds. It was only after this transaction was complete that he revealed the room's "eco-friendly" feature: no toilet paper, only a bidet. This critical detail was never disclosed prior to booking or payment, and we would never have booked under such conditions. The room provided was entirely unsuitable: * It contained three king beds, crammed so tightly that less than a foot separated them, making movement nearly impossible. * A large refrigerator obstructed what little walking space remained. * The air conditioning unit had a broken on/off button, rendering it unusable. When confronted, the owner admitted no other rooms were available. We immediately decided not to stay. Despite acknowledging our position, he flatly refused a direct refund, directing us to Hotels.com. Hotels.com's subsequent attempt to secure our refund was rejected by the owner. This entire experience was highly unsatisfactory and costly due to the owner's misrepresentation and refusal to refund.

Worst Place Ever

The service was terrible and the rooms looked horrendous, as well as they didn't supply toilet paper, shampoo or any necessities, I would not recommend this place to anyone ever.

The location was in the center of town and close to restaurants and shopping. The property was very old and repairs were only surface level. Old flooring, old AC unit, new sink in bathroom but old mirror with stickers on it. Holes in the walls not repaired. Dirty walls. Not very clean. Black hair on walls, in shower, on hair dryer handle. Bathroom door could not be closed. Tiles missing on shower floor. Would not recommend this place.

No toilet paper. No return. I've probably stayed at the property over 10 times. Now they have decided to "go green" and removed all toilet paper from the rooms and installed kitchen sprayer type bidets. I previously dealt with the soap and shampoo dispensers that are often underfilled, barely dispense and don't lather, choosing to overlook them as the beds are the most comfortable in town for a cheap motel. After trying to akwardly maneuver to clean with a kitchen sprayer (bidet) and getting more water on the wall than in the toilet, I can only imagine some of the unmentionable that must be getting sprayed around the bathroom. Couple that with the fact that there is no disposable option to dry after cleaning, and I second guess using the black "makeup remover" wash clothes to shower with. Overall, the staff is good, the rooms are decently clean, and the beds are comfortable for a cheap motel, but you should've have to bring your own TP. If you do decide to stay here, Ace Hardware across the street will sell you a 4 pack of Charmin for about $13.

The price seemed to be about right for a two star motel. The room had too many big chairs and pieces of old furniture. Had a coffee pot but no place to plug it in so I had to put in my the bed where the outlet was. Pillow smelled like whoever used it last. People that worked there seemed nice. Front desk said it was a "green motel" so no toilet paper. I assume that was to save money. They had a hose hooked up to the toilet instead. Seemed a little gross to touch it to clean yourself after others have used it. I think it had potential to be great place.
