The place was totally disgusting. The rooms were filthy and stunk. I actually found another place to stay because I really did not feel safe in the place.

Skipped the breakfast / staff was great room was nice and clean I’ll return for sure
The hotel looked nothing like the pics. It was very dirty with holes and stains on carpet. The worst of all— the stained sheets and linens. I was stuck bc I had a dog and no other options for hotels or I’d have left.
We reserved a king bed with a hot tub in the room but we didn’t get that. The bathroom and walls were stained and gross. The pictures of the website didn’t look anything like the actual hotel. I was really disappointed.
Though listed as 2.5 star, this place couldn’t be considered a 1 star. There are much

Internet was fine, AC and heater were fine. Room and other areas of building clean.
Staff was OUTSTANDING. Very polite, accommodating, very helpful.
It's a older building but as I said staff was fantactic
Hotel is very dated and dirty. Very loud, thin walls. TV was broken when we got in the room took an hour and 3 employees to fix it wasting time of out night when the hotel knew about the issue before I checked in. Would not recommend.

Breakfast is pretty light, but there are some great spots nearby that open early and serve an awesome breakfast.
The best part though—those beds and pillows are insanely comfortable. I honestly felt like asking where they get them :)
Bottom line:
For the price, this place is a great deal. Perfect if you’re not planning to hang around all day and just need a super comfy spot to crash for the night. That’s exactly what we were looking for, and this hotel totally delivered.

The property was an older Days Inn, was clean and staff was friendly. I did have a problem with the shower dripping and brought that to their attention, which they will rectify after my stay (plumbing problem). Breakfast was non existent. The location was great for what we were doing.

Hotel is filthy and not a safe feeling. Breakfast area is bad
Floor wasn’t vacuumed. There was dirt and like stone or pebbles on it. The bottom of my feet were dirty from walking on it barefoot. We couldn’t get any hot water in shower. Very noisy. Staff was outside our room in the morning hours talking loudly with lone another using profanities. I will definitely not stay there again and will not recommend it. Property is very run down.
I called ahead that I was a late check in. Arrived and the front desk employee seemed drunk or under some influence - complained he had waited for me for a long time. Slurred everything so I had a hard time understanding him. Something about how I had the last room, and he had to go check something? But he gave me a key. Me and my partner went to the room and the desk employee never came, so I was confused by that.
Everything besides the sheets and bathroom were quite dirty and disgusting. But it was 11pm and I was too exhausted to try to find somewhere else. We ate and went to sleep. Fairly quiet, were not disturbed, but as you will see in my pictures - just not a good room (especially for $100+ a single night).
