"NOTHING FALSE ABOUT WHAT MY FAMILY & MYSELF HAD TO GO THRU WITH THIS HOTEL. I WILL POST PICTURES IF I HAVE TO, EXPERIENCE WAS TERRIBLE. SERVICE SUCKS, BATHROOM NASTY NOT CLEAN, THEY DON'T PICK UP LAUNDRY, NEVER HAVE CLEAN PILLOWS & SHEETS, SINK ONLY RUNS COLD WATER, CURTAINS ON THE SLIDING DOORS ARE NASTY & DIRTY, HALLWAYS SMELLS SUPER BAD, STAFF DON'T DO NOTHIN THEY MAKE YOU WASH YOUR OWN SHEETS & BLANKETS, KEY CARDS DON'T WORK HAVE TO GO TO THE FRONT DESK, IT'S NEVER NO ONE AT THE FRONT DESK. ONLY THING THAT'S GOOD ABOUT THIS HOTEL IS THAT IT'S BY THE HIGHWAY. THEY DON'T PICK UP THE TRASH IN THE HALLWAY, WORKERS NEVER AROUND UNLESS IT'S TIME TO CHECK OUT. IT'S SO TERRIBLE IT NEEDS TO BE UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT ASAP. THEY TAKE YOUR MONEY & DISAPPEAR EVERY CHANCE THEY GET. CAN'T EVEN ASK FOR TISSUE, TOILET STAY CLOGGED UP & THEY MAKE YOU FIX ALL PROBLEMS IN YOUR ROOM, & BEDS BROKEN. WOULD NEVER ASK OR TELL NO ONE TO COME HERE, NOT EVEN MY WORSE ENEMY. NO STARS, ICE MACHINE DON'T EVEN WORK, DRAINS DON'T WORK IN THE TUB, & THEY HAVE BUGS. REFRIGERATOR DON'T WORK AT ALL SO DON'T EXPECT TO HAVE COLD FOOD."

"Security attempted to break into our room at 12:45 am he almost lost his life. His excuse the new girl (that we remember from our last stay here a year ago) messed up and they were checking to see what rooms were used Looked at the list he utilized and seen it was printed at 8:39pm Said it’s okay because he was the only one there that late at night… then the previous excuse doesn’t make sense. Went searching for him and found him on the other side of the hotel wearing a zip up sweat shirt trying to hide his security outfit Again he was very close to losing his life."

"We stay here a couple of times a year. The restaurant and bar are attached to the hotel and the food is pretty good. The service is always top notch. The rooms leave a bit to be desired. Not very clean and kind of smelly. Overall we are always happy with our several day stay."

"1ST room had a foul stench like rotting garbage, room 2 same thing. Room 3 smelled ok but after putting my bags in room noticed how filthy the room was. Stuffed chair was so dirty it was grey but originally tan. I have given better furniture to the restore. Carpet sticky, hadnt been vacumed in a very long time. Mold and dirt all over tub. Glass window looked like someone spit on it then rubbed it around. Bathroom door looked like milk was spilled on it. Curtains were partially hanging off the rod, holes in walls and missing paint. If it wouldnt have been so late at check in I would have left. Room was so dark with every light on it felt like a dungeon. Anyone who gave this hotel a 3, 4 or 5 rating is a fraud. Front Desk and front hallway is sparkling clean, but the rooms are trashed and the filthiest I have seen."

"Giving this place 2 stars for good service, convenient location, and potential. Putting that aside this hotel should be shut down immediately. The place is like something you would see in a movie, never did I think hotels like this actually exist. Everything you’ve seen in other reviews is 100% true. The place absolutely reeked of pot. Parties blaring music and for some weird reason other guests constantly screaming at the top of their lungs both nights I was there. The room itself was filthy. Dust was everywhere, mold all in the shower (I ended up showering at the gym), the toilet was mounted away from the wall and diagonally (not a huge deal but weird), the sliding doors weren’t secure at all and were actually shaking due to wind. On the bright side, the bed was fine although I slept on top of the comforter instead of getting under the covers. I also didn’t see any insects or rodents and noticed they have those black boxes with rat poison outside (must have an exterminator now). The room had basic appliances, which was nice although I chose not to use them. Both nights I decided to find things to do around town so the only time I spent in the room was to sleep. You get what you pay for, but the pictures I saw of the place are not remotely close to what it’s actually like. It was a cheap room but it wasn’t that cheap. The next time I’ll just pay an extra $25 and stay at a Holiday Inn. Sad, because this place could be a really cool vintage hotel if some money was put into it. For now, there’s no way I could recommend someone to stay here. The owner/operator really needs to take action, it seems like they constantly read these reviews and apologize but it’s been going on for years and years. Again, I do what to emphasize the staff was fine. The guy at the front desk is a good guy."
