Pamela

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
No amenities - didn't have any plastic or glass or any containers to drink out of nor any ice buckets (which didn't matter as the ice machine was out of order). No coffee available; pool and hot tub empty & not available; "game room" machines gone; room curtains & box spring mattresses shredded. Mattress comfortable enough but extends over foot of bed & when I sat on edge to put on my shoes the mattress flipped and I fell onto ground (didn't get hurt). I've stayed there many times - last around 5 years ago & will never stay there again. The current cliental are less than desirable (just an observation - not a judgement). I only wound up staying. is because of Dino's restaurant right next door and they are wonderful. Also, I was only staying overnight. So sad - used to be OK.

The lobby smelled like animal urine and smoke. The room was cleaned but also smelled so, so bad. Again animal urine, smoke....I dont know but it really ruins the hotel. I have spent less at nice hotels.

It was ok it doesn't offer any complimentary utensils, the ice machine has been broken for years, and the pool is closed. What's also sucks is that the gym recently closed.

The staff was nice, but the whole hotel was dirty. We were looking forward to the pool. It wasn’t working. We were looking forward to a breakfast. There wasn’t any the area was very isolated. Broken glass and trash outside, not appealing at all the air conditioning barely work. The gym wasn’t working no equipment online. It says that all these amenities were included. There were none.

It’s definitely not the Hilton but the price was the best in the area. The room was clean, the staff is friendly and the TV & AC both work. What more do you need in a room you only need for sleeping?! I would definitely stay here again 👍

A place to stay if you don’t mind Smells

The building itself is very old, and the entire inside reeks of cigarettes and marijuana. The room we stayed in had a door to connect to the room next to it, and they were smoking marijuana all night. Our room reeked. The only thing going for this place is they have really comfortable beds.
