Lacking
Worn out hotel in much need of updating. Made to come back after coming 2 hrs early, instead of allowing me to check in because they were busy cleaning rooms. Hotel receptionist was short, not friendly and outgoing. Mant areas in need of improvement.

The pictures are all a lie. This place is a disaster and has bed bugs. I literally considered just sleeping in my car, but it was so seemingly dangerous that I suffered through but I got out of there as quickly as possible.

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room was humid so the carpet and towels were damp the entire stay. The bathroom toilet needs to have the chain fixed as it would run if u didn’t fix it yourself. The tub needs to either have a mat or rough strips put in so you don’t slip. I stayed at this hotel in the past they had continental breakfast. Now all they have is coffee, juice, bread for toast and cereal. They used to have waffles, hard boiled eggs, danish and bagels. Not sure what changed so I won’t be going back in the future. Needs to be updated. The overall stay was ok

Not a bad place, but not a nice place either. The overall grounds look run down and unkept. It’s one of the few hotels around that allows smoking.

Property under construction but rooms that were renovated were clean, new carpets, furniture, fixtures. Lobby very small. Location of hotel in poorer section of town with wandering residents at night.
