Old hotel, long due for a renovation. Bathroom was in poor condition but you can tell they clean the best they can. Overall it’s around 3/5 stay in a lower cost hotel.

TV didn’t work, no hot water for a shower, property is terribly rundown, repairs are unsightly, and all of this for the same price as the Super 8 or the Howard Johnson. This should be your last resort.

Not the best experience
Was a bit frustrating as all the lamps were unplugged so had to fumble in the dark to plug them in. Had to get maintenance to fix the heater as it would only blow cold air, once the very kind maintenance guy left and the heater was fixed, every time it kicked in it would make this awful noise until it kicked back off. The tv would turn on but had ‘no signal’ so it didn’t work for the duration of my trip. Although these things were not major issues, it was still quite frustrating. At least the check in was easy and the staff was nice.

I have pets, and i always look at what the cost is. It either says $$$ per pet or $$$ per stay. This one said per stay so i booked it. I get there and he asks how many, i said 2 but the description said per stay (land i showed him)not per pet, he wouldn't budge on that and i had to pay an extra $50 pet fee. This empty hotel at best should have been at max $100/night. It cost us $154/night plus the $50 pet fee. There was visible mud on the floor and in the bathroom there was a used Q-tip on the floor. The bathroom sink was also cracked. The only good thing there was the food from the restaurant.
