Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Could not stay was a wast of money. The lobby was decent. The halls to the room were hazy with cigarette smoke, the room reaked of cigarette smoke, hole in the wall, very unclean, holes in the bathtub, only one door worked other than the main loby, did not feel safe at all. The parking lot had piles of old tree branches everywhere. Definitely do not stay here, very unsafe and disgusting.

Dirty, smelly, not worth the cheap price

The room smelled of old cigarette smoke, with visible residue on the floor and walls. The faucet in the shower was leaking the whole time we stayed, but we left an hour after we arrived because the state of this hotel was so disgusting. If you can help it, go somewhere else.

The property it’s self isn’t bad just has not been well upkeep in the past few weeks it’s now under new ownership and the new owners have been VERY busy cleaning the whole property up the outside grounds have been cleaned up and now the rooms are being cleaned and fixing broken amenities I believe in a short time this hotel will be running much better and the only issue here will be the type of residents and guests that have been using it

We arrived at the facility on July 24th. The prices are really low so that’s why we chose this hotel. The staff is friendly enough, but they don’t get the job done. Air conditioning is leaking all over the building and the toilets do not work clogged sinks. Television issues. Facility is not clean.

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.

DO NOT STAY HERE! Entering the building there is a strange odor that is present throughout the facility. The hallways have visible damage and stains all over the walls and carpet. Inside my personal room: the safety lock on the door was removed, the safety rails in the shower were broken off, none of the surfaces were clean as there was crumbs and liquids still present. The final straw was half of the room was flooded with sopping wet carpet due to a broken AC unit. When I went to complain at the front desk, there were no other rooms available. The only pleasant part of the experience was they did grant me a refund.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Horrible. Place needs to be shutdown. The only good thing about it was the guy behind the counter. He gave me a refund without being an issue. The lobby smells of mold and mildew. The room smelt of urine and meth. There was an active drug deal happening in the room next to mine. The lock was busted off the door. The door between the conjoined rooms was “secured” with a dollar store chain lock, tape and wishful thinking. Bathroom was gross, beds were gross. It was all gross. Bugs, all kinds. It’s great place to stay if you’re looking to bring home roaches or hepatitis.

My question from the owner of this property if you wanted to business not like that, you click the money but your service at zero room was dirty. Carpet was dirty. Bed was broke with the thing room number 245 and I pay it for two bed it was broke down. Go check it. bathroom was dirty. TV does not work. What do you think? It’s fair you charge me and your service is very bad.

Front desk staff was super friendly, but hotel was very dirty. Our entire hallway was filled with a very strong smoky smell. We held our breath to walk through it and then just checked back out. There is a sign at the front desk that says “100% smoke free. Breathe easy.” But that is not the case.
