Not a great area. Would not recommend except it's dog friendly and very good price.

My family was in the area for a memorial and the hotel staff were WONDERFUL, so sweet and helpful! They brought us a new fridge for our room when ours malfunctioned and were so pleasant to deal with. We loved our stay!

I can't select 0 stars! I wish there was an option for negative stars. I've stayed in many motels and hotels across the US and this is my first review. You expect some standards - this place has none. IMHO it's a complete dump. Smelly, not clean and definitely not renovated in the main areas. I tried to reach their Manager "Ian" several times to express my concerns, but this was impossible to reach him. Just stay away...

There was a dead bug that fell out of a towel when I grabbed it. Place was dirty in some spots but it's an alright inn. Staff was very friendly. Breakfast kinda sucks the eggs are watery, and could hear people playing music in the middle of the night.

Disgusting. Please don’t make the mistake I made in a desperate situation for my brother because the rating was high. Extremely deceiving. Rooms dirty, trash all over the place outside. HORRID smell in the room and stains on the bed, and when asked for another accommodation they have the nerve to have attitude? This place is below a 1 star. Every room smells like smoke and hallways. I feel so disrespected.

What a mistake staying here. The entire 2nd floor reeked of weed- I couldn't get in or out of my room without a contact high. I'm allergic to it and even going near my door was not an option due to the overpowering smell. Front desk said she'd "mention it to the manager", but I can't believe they don't already know. TV is a pathetic roku setup that means you need apps to use it. The office said the 2nd remote would change the tv to the cable system, but that was BS. Minimal lighting in the bathroom- I couldn't even tell if I shaved properly. The mirror is supposed to be lighted, but SURPRISE- that didn't work either. I had to iron pants but since the iron ALMOST got warm, that didn't happen. Don't know what housekeeping was thinking, I'm sure the obviously uncleaned tub with the huge hair ball in the drain isn't SOP (attached pic). Thankfully I didn't have my glasses on when I first went in the bathroom so I couldn't see all the other hair and crud that was still on the un-swept, un-mopped floor. Interesting that the next door guest's phone conversation was louder than the tv in my room. Sad that I heard their phone alarm at 5:20 like it was in my room. This place is NOT recommended for anything other than a cheap place to crash with minimal expectations for cleanliness and quiet. Lots of shady people running around. I'm thinking this is primarily housing for transients which should tell you what to expect. Wish I'd known before the cancellation deadline.
