The property was as expected. It was a clean room that appeared to have been recently updated. Carpets were clean, towels, bedding good. We had to ask the staff to get the TV connected, ran out of shower soap, no disposable cups, no garbage can in the restroom, lots of homeless people around the hotel, no insulation between the rooms , but overall not bad for the price we paid.

The staff here are great; very helpful and accommodating when need be. I have stayed here numerous times and will again. Yes the hotel is dated and some parts are a little run down, but it’s plenty passable and a comfortable stay. Great price as well.

Disgusting, crusty blankets and black mold on the wall with the shower. Roaches. The hotel room reeked. The staff was unhelpful, we asked for soap continuously for two days and did not get any. No complimentary breakfast due to renovations. People were even asking us how our stay was going because they were unsatisfied with their stay too. Do NOT come here, even if you think the price is fair.

This property has new owners who just acquired it within the last month. I’m confident that there will be many changes and improvements ahead. The location right off I-71 is convenient. I would stay here in the future should my travels are nearby. Thank you.

The hotel was absolutely disgusting and dirty. It wreaked of marijuana and cigarettes. The hallways were gross. The walls were smeared with random things. The staff was nice and understanding when we decided to go to a different hotel

Terrible service. We paid a premium expecting a breakfast like the one shown on their website. When I went to inquire about it, a man started shouting at me, claiming I was lying and that I must have been looking at photos of a different hotel—not that one. I pointed out how illogical that was: why would I look at photos, make a reservation, and spend the night at a hotel if the pictures on the website actually belonged to a different place? It was ridiculous. And that wasn't even the worst part: the toilet bowl had fecal residue in it, and the smell was horrible. To top it all off, the place felt like a drug den, and the door to the room across the hall kept slamming all night long. I had just undergone surgery four days prior and needed a pleasant, clean place to rest; instead, it turned out to be the worst experience we’ve ever had. Please, do not stay here—it is absolutely not worth the cost.

Property was under construction and the room didn't even have a microwave or fridge, no water in the shower, and the hallways smelled of sewage. But the room was clean. It just was not a pleasant stay.

Holes in the walls, no breakfast or pool but seeing the place I wouldn't want either of those. Floors in room have never been cleaned, towels stained. Shampoo n body wash empty. My room smelled so bad that I gagged when I walked in. Only thing I can say is that I found no bugs. Bed was clean but pillows were awful.
