Hotel is well located for us. Just looks tired. First room had a leaking air conditioner, carpet was soaked and no toilet paper holder in bathroom. They moved us immediately. Second room no issues but seemed a bit worn.

Walking into the hotel there were weeds growing through the sidewalk, etc. just not nice or appealing. Inside was old, which in its own sense had some with, but it was not a clean feel. The rooms themselves were fine. Clean bathroom and comfortable bed.

Meh-needs updating, but I slept well!

I found an old salad on top of our fridge, no ice in our floor, spa was out of service, pool was dirty, keys for door work when they want too, smelled like it was a smoking building at some point. Def needs an update! Beds were comfortable.

Staff was great, kind and accommodating. Unfortunately the hotel is a dump and falling apart. At least a freight train across street comes through 430am and every hour subsequent so no need for alarm.

Needed wheelchair access room. The staff was very helpful. The room was adequate for needs. Could have had a bench to place suitcase on. A car was parked in a handicap spot with no tag, which left no parking one night. Not the hotel's fault. Staff was very helpful.

Before booking this hotel I read a lot of mixed reviews about how dated the property is but I took my chances and ofcourse regretted booking it. First of all I booked a room for 3 adults, one tween and a teen. The room had 2 full size bed which sleeps 2 adults but very uncomfortable! The sheets were stain and looked dirty ! I had to go back to reception to get them changed and to also request a “roll out bed!! I also had to request towels because they didn’t have enough for 5 people!! If a room is booked for 5 people - I shouldn’t have to ask for another bed and towels and sheets!! Terrible place!!

The worst place I have ever stayed. I honestly wish we wld have just left! So dirty and in desperate need of repairs. Faucet fell off in my hand when I turn on the water. Shower curtain was stained and torn in multiple places. Lamp shades torn n stained. Cabinet beside fridge was filthy. I would NOT recommend. So upset that we wasted our money on this place!!!
