This is a dump. In my 50+ years of traveling I’ve never stayed in an uglier place. Bed cover, sheet, and mattress pad all had cigarette burn holes in them - and I was a “non-smoking“ room. The furniture looked like it came from Goodwill. Two of the three drawers in the chest were broken and couldn’t be opened. Past roof leaks were scraped off and painted over - with a different shade of paint. And the worst part was the carpet. It was one big discontinuous stain. This place hasn’t been renovated in decades. Do yourself a favor and just sleep in your car if you can’t find any other place in your budget.

Technically, everything was functional, and it could still be worse, but other than the staff (who were very nice) it was still a very unpleasant experience. The first thing we noticed was that the room had a pungent musty smell reminiscent of body odor. The bathroom did not seem like it was cleaned at all. The room and the property in general were in a state of general disrepair. Furniture was very worn, towels had holes in them, tub has corrosion spots eating through the surface, the bottom of the tub was somehow squishy, and the plugs were falling out of the outlets (which is a fire hazard). Breakfast was barely there and was even more disappointing than a normal continental breakfast.

I left with one night in my stay remaining. I discovered my door could be opened from the outside WITHOUT my hotel key. Maintenance did nothing about it when I flagged someone down as I was leaving for a graduation. So when I got back and discovered it was still able to be unlocked from the outside, I packed up and left. There is obviously no point in bringing up safety concerns to maintenance.

Never will I ever stay here again

The hotel was absolutely horrible and the pictures of rooms and the property are not at all accurate. The room had a very strong smell of musty mildew and stale smoke. It was stated as non-smoking. The room had very old and dirty carpeting and wallpaper that was from the late 1970's partially peeling from the walls. The tub had multiple cigarette burns on the edge. The light fixture in the bathroom was missing a cover and what was there was rusted and flaking. The shower curtain was stained. The sink area had multiple holes that were patched in a haphazard manner. The only reason we did not run out of the room was that it was late at night and the beds were actually not terrible. Mattress was clean and sheets clean. The room overall was about $50 night worth and we paid 4x that. The breakfast buffet was horrible and there wasn't any food left but a few hard biscuits and some toast by 8am. Maybe this property updated a few rooms for the pictures or used some AI. We had a horrible experience

There is nothing to like about this property. Paid around $150 per night but got frogs and ants in the room, dirty carpets, worn-out power outlets with loose connections, non-working microwave, third-class breakfast, no coffee option in the room or after breakfast in the lobby. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone.

STAY AWAY!! THIS PLACE IS THE ABSOLUTE WORST HOTEL I HAVE EVER STAYED AT. I ACCIDENTALLY GOT A SMOKING ROOM AND THEY WOULD NOT CHANGE IT UNLESS I PAID 55 bucks extra per night even though they had room. This place should be shut down, nothing worked in the room that was disgusting. I have a video, will try to post. STAY AWAY!!!!!

If I could rate this place a negative 10 I would. Dirty, cracked sink, cracked toilet, duck tape holding broken window together, non working blow dryer. When checked in was told tv service was out. I now see that this has been the case for months! Do not stay here! Pictures on line show a simple but ok place. They are a lie! I only booked here because everything else in the area was booked. We actually considered sleeping in the car! I went to Walmart and bought garbage bags and lined the bed and pillows in plastic and refused to sleep under the covers. It also wasn’t inexpensive. AVOiD, AVOiD, AVOiD. PS I also noticed that the outside elevator hasn’t been inspected since 2023 according to the certificate. Should be shut down!
