All I will say is read the reviews on this place as they are 1000% true. It looks like it’s abandoned from the outside to the lobby to the rooms. The “management” is zero help. Hotels.com is zero help. Don’t expect anything but disappointment and disgust.
There is no coffeemaker anywhere no schuttel. This place should be razed .

The room was dirty and had roaches, the front desk lady would not let me speak to a manager about a room change or refund me for the remaining nights, I ended leaving and booking a new stay in another place
Staff is always understanding, good quality clean rooms, great location.

Absolutely horrid conditions. Black mold the ceiling, stinky room, no trash can, only two dirty towels. Old place. Worst place I've ever stayed & had to check out early for another hotel.

This Inn SHOULD NOT be affiliated with Hotels.com! The lack of maintenance at this property is horrific and needs city citations in order for something to be done!
No the ac didn't blow good the kitchen didn't have nothing in it No coffee pot it had mold the paint was piling off the wall the floor was water warped tv had no service it was bad I am 55 and it's the worst inn I've been in
Read reviews after booking . I had no issues stayed in 205 2nd floor all good , definitely can't complain for the price and management very nice. Also easy spot for lyft pick up and drop off .
This was the worst hotel I've ever seen, we checked into the hotel and the guy in the office was RUDE and very unhelpful!! The room was awful, no TV in the room, AC didn’t work and the place was filthy!! My mom and I went to dinner and as soon as we got back to the room I was done, we packed up and found a better place to stay. I'm gonna contact hotels.com to try and get my money back!! This hotel needs to be removed from the website!!
No TV, sink was falling off of the wall. There were dust bunnies THICK on the ceiling above the bed where the AC blew air. The walls had cracks in them and the flooring was a laminate that had come apart and was peeling from the edges. The tub was stained a deep yellow and was chipping paint. DISGUSTED and checked out immediately after checking in.
Dirty room, cigarette smell, cigarette burns in furniture, dirty sock left on floor, holes in wall and ceiling and BLACK MOLD ON THE CEILING in one of the rooms they tried to put me in at first.
The location was nice, but husband said it could have been a little better..
The tub, a little more towles in the room.. could have used a trash can in the room.. and better pillows
