Guy at the front desk was really nice but we had trouble with are toilet had to take the back off to flush which wasn’t a big deal. The outside near dumpster a little messy but again not a problem. Overall the room was decent and I would definately go again.

Pool was closed but their website said nothing about that. They should be very clear about their amenities, what they are and when they are available. This is obviously an older hotel and it shows its age, but there’s nothing really filthy or disgusting about it. Shower is new and the water pressure was great! The bed was also very comfortable. Continental breakfast was less than average with very limited selections. Best thing about this place? The Italian restaurant!
I hated my stay there. I saw a roach. They didn’t change the linen, towels. It was the most horrible Hotel I ever stayed in!!!!
You asked and I answered truthfully!!!!!
1. Soon as you walk in all you smell is urine
2. Says check in is at 3pm but reserved room wasn’t ready until 345 then
Tried to give a smaller bed though we paid for a king size bed but we refused
3. Parking lot was dirty and not enough parking for everyone with rooms
4. Have to walk up to 3rd floor to use microwaves.
5. Showers only. The pull up lever is glued up so you can’t take a bath
6. Pee or spilled stains on sheets
7. Extended breakfast hours for certain individuals only
8. Juice machine didn’t work for the first 4 days we stayed there.
9. Found two cockroaches in the room which I have pictures of
10. Dirt all over inside of the pool on the bottom
11. Squished up used cigar on pool area floor where you would walk
12. Room keys kept not working so you had to go back to desk to get it reset
13. Hair dryer did not work
14. The fridge froze everything even tho it was set on low.
Breakfast and coffee very miserly provided for a 300 dollar per night stay, its very poor and the surroundings are dark and sketcy in the night and dog attacks on the pavements
Bed sheets smelled bad, bathroom door broken, unable to lock, room is very small, terrible sound insulation - I can hear the person staying in the room above walking, the floor creaked.

Disliked: Staff & service
I was appalled by the staff person during check in. The level of unprofessionalism and unfriendliness was shocking and ruined my stay. I couldn't wait to get out the next morning and NEVER NEVER see that person again. The room itself was as expected for the cheap price. It was clean and thats all i wanted. But that person who greeted us needs to learn some manners and some basic behaviors. I will NEVER come back to that place.
BEWARE: This hotel was ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE. We opted to go somewhere else when we found bed bugs in the beds. The rooms reeked of smoke and Marijuana as well. There were some homeless smoking right in the parking lot. The pictures make it look ok BUT it is horrendous. The worst thing was, the front desk clerk went down to the room, came back and acknowledged the bugs but said "those aren't bed bugs so you should be fine. Either way we can't give you a refund". Go somewhere else.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort
Dion (I think that's how you say his name) at the front desk was a gem. Such a personable young man. Our room was clean and the location was perfect (quick walk to the falls and casino) There is no elevator so if you have walking issues this can be a problem. We were disappointed that the indoor pool was shut down for the season (we'd never encountered an indoor pool shut down in colder months before) and the complimentary breakfast was desperately lacking. Overall, we are pretty easy to please so my husband and I had a nice stay. Cleanliness is most important to us and our room was clean.
