there was no hot water, the AC Unit was a portable unit that tended to get in the way. The TV didn't work and a new one was brought to the room but had problems with it also.

I didn’t stay at the hotel due to there not being any hot water, they were having it fixed the next day. It was no fault of the hotel. I canceled my stay with them upon check in

Expect no frills. Barebones.

The bad: the hallway carpet stank. The elevator only went to the third floor (you had to take the elevator to three and then take the stairs to the 2nd floor). No continental breakfast. Barebones room; no coffee maker, or hair dryer. Shower water temperature was just warm. Tub shape was awkward - even for taking a shower. The good- the room was clean, although there was a big beetle bug in the bathroom. For $90 with taxes- not worth it. Also, no coffee maker in the room.

Room was generally clean, quiet, and comfortable. Location convenient. Appeared to be staffing issues and bathroom towels not so clean or stained. There was a bad smell when I arrived, I suspect due to water treatment facility nearby and wind direction, but seemed better later... Maybe due to wind direction change.

The smoke detector was beeping throughout night probably due to low battery. I could not get to anyone till daytime and was told that nobody was available to fix it. I had to move to another room after I came back to the hotel late at night. Other than that it was fine.

The staff was very friendly and welcoming, but our room was dirty and hot. There was food and dirt in the floor, lights stains from cups still sticky on tables and toothpaste in the sink from previous occupant. It looked like maybe work was being done because there were pieces of wall on the floor in the hallways and it also kinda seemed like it was going under. No breakfast or Coffee, and that would have been fine m, but it was advertised to have it. Like I said, the staff was very friendly but I would never recommend someone to stay there

Good location. Needs maintenance and employees to help out inside and clean up the parking lot for a better appearance. They shouldn't let pickup & trailers take up the parking meant for cars. They have a gravel spot meant for them already. The entry doors need attention. That is the first impression that you get when walking in the place! The manager looks like he is shot from running around doing things. They need help and look more professional. First impression can be a bad thing or a good thing. Breakfast area should be open! At least someone to make coffee! I've never stayed anywhere that they didn't offer COFFEE!

Pleasant stay

Check in was very easy and painless. Check in staff was friendly. Room was clean and my only issue was the water had to run quite some time before it got slightly warmer than tepid. I needed a HOT shower after 8 hours drive, ha! Our handicapped room on 2nd floor was quiet. Watch the fridge as it freezes everything! It is just a short drive to the Mammoth Dig and grocery stores and just a short walk to DQ if you like fast food.
