    The front desk girl was very nice other than that the hotel was aweful. So dirty and old. The matresses had no covers on them and were brown. Doors didnt lock good and if i had somewhere else to go i wouldnt have stayed here. It was quiet because i think there was only 1 ither guest in the whole building.

    The staff I encountered was not friendly at all and was a little creepy for a late night check-in. The garbage in the room had not been emptied and was full. There was a crumpled wash cloth on the counter by the sink, there was hair in the bathroom, there was a GIANT crack in the bottom of the tub that was letting water drain out of the tub and was a cut hazard for bare feet.

    When I arrived at Lakewood Inn and Suites, my first impression was not good. The landscaping was overrun with weeds, the signage was faded and outdated from a previous business, and the building had mismatched paint patches. Several windows didn’t have any coverings. I was also the only car in the parking lot. A casually dressed woman was standing outside speaking to someone in a van, which felt unusual for a hotel arrival. Inside, the front desk clerk—who was polite and welcoming—checked me in and walked me to my room. Unfortunately, the room was in poor condition. There were visible dirt marks on the walls, the curtain was partially detached from the rod, the thermostat was dirty, and there was a strong, unpleasant odor from the carpet. I immediately contacted Expedia to request a refund, which the owner approved. When I returned the keys, the woman I had seen outside was now at the front desk. She offered to move me to a room with updated furniture, carpet, fixtures, and paint. It left me wondering why that wasn’t offered in the first place. While I understand the property is under new management, the state of the room I was given made me uncomfortable. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend staying here.

    We didn't stay. The hotel isn't in great shape. I pulled the covers back and the sheets were stained. The bathroom sink was brand new.

    I would like at least a partial refund! I should never have been offered lodging that is under construction. The latch on the door was falling off and there was no hot water in the shower. The staff member said someone else complained but maybe I didn’t turn it on right. INSULTING!

    Badddd

    Had to get a different hotel. When walking to the front door there was a window you could seen through due to no curtains and in the room was a demolished room with no floor and what appears to be construction stuff inside of a tub. When arriving the place was dirty and smelled of human urine. When getting to the room the smell worsened and there were doors that had been pried open and had damage and what looked to be bullet holes through them. When getting to the room fist opening the door there was a wave of heat, the lights did not turn on. There was a mattress with no sheets or frame on the ground. The toilet in the bathroom was disabled and clogged. There was a blinder in the tub and the shower head was disassembled and there was something sticking out of the drain. We only took one step inside then turned around. And had to find a new hotel in the middle of the night. The owner was also walking around in a bathing suit and looked very unprofessional. There was not a pool in this place either so I dont understand the bathing suit.

    We didn’t even go inside. Sheets were on the windows, and the place was obviously under reconstruction and new management, but work hadn’t been completed.

    Mid-Update

    This hotel is under new ownership and undergoing renovations. The outside has clearly not been updated, we were concerned when we arrived. Our room has new paint and beds, minimal cheap furniture, and the bathroom furnishings are mid-upgrade. It was good enough for a one night stop and has potential. The room was clean, which is our priority.

    Ask for a renovated room.

    It was good. The only thing is they originally gave us an old room, not one which has been renovated. So ask for a renovated room and you will be fine.

    Friendly staff, but not great conditions yet.

    The hotel was just being renovated from another owner. It smelled like paint which I understood. However, there was cleanliness issues in the hallways and in the corners of the room. Even though they had updated or were in the process of updating, the toilet tissue roll was rusty And other issues with the room. I decided not to stay there again.

    A welcoming smile after a long day and a late check-in. Very helpful with local dining options. I will come back if the opportunity arises. A comfy bed with the basics ie Fridge and microwave .
