Skip this joint

Awful place. Check-in was protracted to say the least. Required multiple attempts to achieve. Then room was cold. Sconce at bedside would not turn off. Could not unscrew lightbulb. It finally fell off wall - clearly had been off wall previously and was hanging by a thread. Toilet ran all night. Would not flush! Bathroom floor was 30 degrees! Finally the hairdryer they said they didn’t supply but was in the room blew the breaker and most of the lights in the room went out! The breaker box would not open so I had to live in the dark! Extremely unpleasant experience. Oh, good thing I didn’t have a computer - no outlet at desk! Why have a desk! Absolutely terrible room.

I don't think this listing had enough communication about it basically being an air bb. I didn't stay there after encountering a locked door when I arrived in a storm. The site they make you sign in on is too much when you've already booked through a third party. I left and got another room. I am claiming it on my insurance.

We stayed a week. The property is tired and old. The beds were very uncomfortable and with lopsided mattresses. The shower stall leaked water. The shades did not cover the windows completely. One of the worst hotels we ever stayed.

Excellent, but cleaning not satisfactory

Location is excellent and the room was spacious, comfortable, and well lit. The only problem was some parts of the room had not been cleaned well. For example, on my last night I dropped my phone down the side of the bed, and here discovered lots of dust, hair, a used cotton bud, and a cigarette butt…

A great location. We found the place stingy on amenities, including having no cups or glasses in the bathroom, and only two paper cups for two days and two people.

Check in is all remote- no hotel staff. Had no idea when the reservation was made. Took 30 minutes to get checked in online and get to the room. Have to upload ID and use face recognition. Room smells like a wet dog.
