Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
The room didn’t even have a closet so I made them give me another room!! The towels were thin and no wash cloths…they didn’t even know what a wash cloth was!!! Place is disgusting and won’t advise my worst enemy to stay there!!!
Parking was easy. No amenities. Shower towels are small and poor quality. The heater in our room was not working and I was cold when I went to bed. The people running the place were nice enough. There was a homeless dude that was strung out on drugs hanging out in the parking lot.
It's not the prettiest or biggest, but the combo of value and location can't be beat.
I enjoyed my stay, and I'll be back for more!

Renovations were being completed so going to give grace. No mirror in the room but added when we asked for one. Not many plugs in the room to charge devices, we ended up having to unplug the tv and microwave so items could be charged. It was good for what you pay for. Due to the renovations the floors were pretty dirty so we ended up wearing shoes/at least socks the good majority. It was a place to sleep for the night.

Remodeling during our stay. Not a 5 star hotel but had a nice bed and daily service. Just a sleeping place. Happy for the price we paid.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Room dirty, smelly,mattress had blood spots, dirt y towels. Dirty foot print on wall, crayon and martker scribble on walls. Left to find different place to stay. When went to counter and pressed door bell for help and wanting refund no one came. Don't know how they have 7 rating, worst experience ever. Do not stay.
The staff was courteous and helpful. However, the floor was dusty and needed mopping. There were 2 mice droppings between the beds. The washcloth and towels were washed but not white. A cigarette butt was lying in the windowsill, even though the sign on the door said, "No smoking."
