The AC/HEAT unit sounded like a jet engine. The room was hot when I arrived. The cove base was missing or coming off the wall in several places. The door hardware was very loose and I’m sure the room I was in could be broken into very easily. The tv didn’t work properly. The parking area was in dire need of repair. There was no included breakfast

OK for the price

I appreciated the very low cost. The place is run down. Bathroom door had a large "crater", as if someone hit it. Sink and tub are all scratched up. Nevertheless, things were clean. Ground floor room is a little noisy due to traffic in the parking lot.

Awful experience

I booked the room because under the lies there was breakfast and a pool. This place had neither. The hallways smell, the stairs weren’t clean. I honestly would like my money back after the false advertising and hotel condition. I have another trip booked here with my daughter in two weeks that I’ll be canceling immediately.

The room is more than neglected. There are pictures I can show how trashy it looks, not only is it beat up and graffitied on but there has been no attempt made to fix a place that looks like it's been broken into and ransacked in the bathroom. The rest of the room looks impeccable, better than some other hotels that I've seen. I just don't understand how it's allowed to do what they did with not taking care of the way the bathroom is. Hopefully they let me get a refund, but I worked 13 hours today and I am not up for getting out of the room until I have some sleep

Do not book it. Stay away.

There was no breakfast served even though it was marketed during reservation. Room was not made. We had to clean our room make our own bed went to front desk to get fresh towels and bedsheet. Front desk area stinks badly. With 2 kids and a dog we made a wrong choice looks like. I am asking for my money back.
