The night staff was very friendly and helpful. It was sometimes hard to find staff to help though and people would wait during lunch breaks. The room was recently renovated and clean. It had most of the necessities, I just had to ask for a blanket but was not able to get a hair dryer. The location was on a very busy road, but the sound wasn't bad and we were fairly close to town. The towels were very small and thin, but it had almost everything I needed at a great price. It was nice to have the microwave and fridge too. I would stay there again in the future.
I checked in at 1am, and the lobby smelled like a dirty fish tank. When I got to the room there was a disgusting old cigarette smell (I signed an agreement that the room was nonsmoking upon checkin), I turned the air on and the smell was intensified. The bathroom smelled even worse. There was no door latch on the door, the fire alarm was ripped off the wall, there was a dirty stain on the bedsheets, and the blanket was as thin as a curtain. I couldn’t sleep because I didn’t feel safe. I checked out at 8am I was supposed to be there for 6 days. Terrible experience and would never go there again!
The room was very neglected. It was extremely dirty. I mopped the floor with bleach and a towel that I purchased, and it was black. I requested a change of linen and they refused so I brought fabric sanitizer to spray the sheets. There was stain on the counter. The room smelled horrible and that’s the second room. The first one was an unbearable to even walk into. I wish that I could request my funds back because I was so unsatisfied I even let them know that I cleaned the room from for them from head to toe with bleach because it just was unsanitized. It’s not like mold and mildew in the back of the curtains had mold on it.
Staff was courteous and thorough. Room was missing the extra safety bar for security purposes. I rig something to be sure the room wasn't broken into. Room was missing such things as we usually have at other places as hair dryers and Kleenex. Other than that the room was in clean shape they'll certainly not particularly well appointed, as this is a very old place. Would I stay there again, not sure probably not.

It was a nice no frills hotel to stay at overnight The check in was smooth, the gentleman was nice. The rooms were clean and the beds comfortable. I didn't like that you had to go back to get the hold removed from the card. Maybe get a way to automatically put it back on the card.
The staff was amazing and it is a good value for the price.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
It was a standard hotel setting. Nothing overtly fabulous but not shabby either. Great for crashing somewhere for a couple of nights. At an affordable rate. Plus it’s quiet and great for a comfortable nights rest.
