This place was just weird and run down. Lobby and breakfast area were grungy and unwelcoming. Person who checked us in was creepy. The room was large, but it was set up oddly. Lots of chipping paint on baseboards, shredded carpet, light bulbs out, mattresses might as well have been prison-issue, massive cobwebs, etc.. You can hear everything from surrounding rooms. It was a total waste of $300.

Never again.

Carpet was not clean. Facility is in need of renovation. Key card had to be replaced several times. Heat pump and TV were not user-friendly. Built-in lights for reading did not work. Staff had excuses but no fixes. Housekeeping was sporadic at best. Breakfast was limited to cereal, muffins, and "make your own" waffles. Coffee was frequently empty.

Not only outdated but ceiling light cover was broken. No way to take a bath as there is no stopper for tub and only the shower water comes out. Beds looked like the covers were just pulled up after the previous guest. Wall hair dryer was removed. The room was large and was the only positive comment I can give. Extremely overpriced for the condition of the room. Travel further for a better experience!

Outside of the building is dirty. The room was clean and parts of it had been updated. The wallpaper in places was peeling and the baseboards and door were beat up pretty bad and contributed to a poor impression. I don’t want to be to hard on the place as you can tell they are working on the property.
