Meh

The hotel is dated and rundown. It is desperate need of a remodel. Our room smelled moldy and the breakfast was limited and all-in-all non-existent.

Manager was not on duty to best help me with an error on our stay. Expedia and manager's worker tried to get in contact with them but did not contact us back. Took forever to contact me in discussing how we could best fix the issue. Lost money and future money from me. We come a lot into town and can definitely go elsewhere. Go else where !!!

My room smelled mildewy, the deadbolt would not turn, and the breakfast was a joke. There was some dry cereal, a waffle iron, and what looked like stale bread. There was a bag of Damp-rid hanging in my closet area to and it looked like it needed changing. There were dehumidifiers in the hallway. I didn't like the fact that the light switch when you first entered didn't turn anything on. The bed was comfortable. The clerk was friendly.

The front desk staff was very friendly and helpful! The hotel is older and there was a problem with their truck so breakfast was limited. For the price this was an excellent choice.

Very impressed

I stayed here many years ago and the place was run down dirty and not very friendly staff time. And now I was very impressed with the staff. They are very polite. Acknowledge you when you walk by and the room was excellent. Great improvement and great place in a better place than last time.

It was cheap and sheets were clean! Carpet wasn’t the cleanest so keep shoes on ! They had ally of moisture or water cuz they had humidifier’s running in hallways and those bags hanging in rooms to remove moisture! We rented 2 rooms and both were like that! Overall it wasn’t bad! They offer a small breakfast too!

Would stay here again! The staff was nice, and our room seemed well cleaned. Just a few downsides were our room had a very dusty smell when we first walked in, the window didn’t have a nob to open it, and there weren’t many channels on the Tv. But nothing beats the great price!
