Do not stay here if you have standards of a hotel

We stayed one night. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone there were cigarette burns in our sheets ,people that obviously live there, it is very dingy and out of date there was a quality inn and suites connected, which looked like it was a little bit better condition. For spending $145 I would’ve expected more. I was close to going back and asking for our money back before we even unpacked our bags.

We booked a room at EconoLodge and got a free upgrade to a room at the QualityInn, the nicer rooms in the same building, which was great for our family stay. Staff and service was excellent. The building itself is aged and needs better ventilation for the rooms, hallways, and breakfast area. Nice and quiet location with lots of parking.

Property was okay. In our room specifically there were lightbulbs burnt out and one that flickered. Only 1 main light and the bathroom light worked well. Hallways were decent but were noticeably dirty in some spots and room was okay but could be better maintained.. Could have been better.

It was a very dirty hotel. People were living there fully. Cutting peoples hair o it side the building in front of the rooms. A guy was yelling at the front desk for his room but seemed like he was on something. Didn’t seem fully there. Very unsafe and dirty.

This was the dirtiest stinkiest hotel room I have ever stayed in. All the floors look like they hadn’t been cleaned in years. Everything was sticky greasy filthy dirty. Everything was extremely old worn out holes in the furniture. One of the beds had crumbs under the bedspread on top of the sheets Parking lot was overgrown with weeds. The door look like it was gonna fall off. The hinges whole property was totally rundown. This hotel should be demolished.

We checked in fine, overall first impression- place a bit run down, seems to be in middle of reno. Upon return from our event- there was absolutely no one at the front desk… in fact not one staff person to be found. Other guests reported they’d been waiting in lobby for about an hour for any sign of staff to check in and couldn’t. Police eventually called and showed up— which was disturbing on many levels- morphed into sense of decreased safety. Rooms very average at best. Probably won’t attempt to book there in future. Not great experience.
