The room smelled like an ashtray, real bad! The water drained super slow in the sink. The fitted sheet was too small for the mattress. No SUB plug was available. The accent chair was ripped and broken seat support. The staff were super sweet and helpful. The owners need to update and fix these rooms.

Advertised with a pool but told it was closed. The pool was drained and did not look like it was under repair. Breakfast was small muffins and bagels only. Set up for waffles but there was no batter.

While checking in it took an extremely long time to check in. The room was dark, we bought a bulb for a lamp and the lamp had a short. The bath tub was to smooth and needed something for standing safely then getting out of the tub there was no grab bar for assistance. I didn't like the handicapped room that I asked for last year with no place to put the morning items needed for dressing and I didn't request it do to that last year. The breakfast was slim. Seems no one thinks about those who cannot have sugar. There are a lot of diabetics today and a noncoated cereal would be welcome. The hotel was comfortable for sleeping it was quiet. Thank you.

What I liked was that the staff were friendly and accommodating. It all went downhill after that. The hallway smelled of smoke despite this being a non-smoking environment. The baseboard/trim in the bathroom was badly separated from the wall leaving a bit of a chasm behind the toilet next to the tub. The tub itself had long hairs in it, was all knocked up and discolored, and the shower head was not adjustable; you couldn’t tilt or turn it to better cover you with the spray. I will give it a five for great hot water however! Whomever had the room next to mine decided to stay up and watch tv all night. It wasn’t that the volume was loud, it was a problem of a poorly sealed connecting door between our rooms and the paper thin walls. He probably heard every time I cleared my throat. I certainly heard his attempts. Breakfast was the last straw. No eggs or any other hot food. There was a double waffle iron but no batter, the temperature settings were in Celsius, but there was a conversion chart. There were no instructions as to how long to heat the non-existent batter nor to what temperature to set the dial. I did manage to find the hot water and had to settle for a bowl of plain instant oatmeal to get anything with some warmth beyond the coffee. The one remaining donut was hard as the proverbial rock. I wonder how many weeks it had been there. Thankfully, there’s a McDonalds nearby. I almost forgot, the tv remote batteries dead.

In all fairness I never judge a book by its cover but in my span of staying at hotels. This was by far the worst. We were there for a wedding and it was the 4 minutes from the venue so we bit the bullet. From finding bed bugs, the toilet doesn’t drain, the showers were filthy same with the chairs in the room. I was honestly scared to sleep there. The only good thing I can take away from this was the heat in the room. I never complain but this hotel needs a lot of work.

Comfortable and affordable
Perfectly serviceable inn with friendly desk help who changed our room assignment upon request to a first floor room--much appreciated. This is an older motel but reasonably well kept. Has an indoor pool which was closed when we arrived. Good wifi, fridge & microwave in room, comfortable beds. Everything worked. Good value IMHO and we'd stay here again.

This place needs renovating
We didn't stay. I only booked this hotel because it had an indoor pool. I'm disabled, and have many back & neck issues. The ad doesn't say that their pool is closed. The clerk didn't say anything about the pool being closed when we checked in. We struggled to carry all our stuff up to the 2nd floor (no elevator) then changed into our bathing suits. went to the pool to find a closed sign on it. The desk clerk came out & said it was closed because it needed chemicals & because of the weather. We asked Why because of the weather? She said the roof leaks & they don't open it when it rains. We looked and the entire pool had drops of rain coming in.

Description indicated fitnessroom but that was closed. There was an anytime fitness a few blocks away you could borrow a fob for but thats not convenient. Pool was closed. Provided breakfast was pretty much breads. Description should have indicated continental breakfast. The path to where the breakfast was was extra dark. Might have been a single burnt out light bulb but still sketchy. Security door next to us that was supposed to be exit only wouldnt close all the way. Not totally sure if it was latched or not but it didnt give as warm and fuzzies. We did go for a walk around the area and felt safe.

Very disappointed
The main reason we were staying at this hotel was for the pool. It was not open because of maintenance. If it was closed they should let someone know. I put in my filter for an indoor pool. I would have stayed somewhere else so that my family could swim. Then we got to the room and the tv didn't work. We told the girl at the front desk and all she said is well it should. She did not make any effort to get if fixed.

Have stayed at this property about 18 years ago and it was very nice. It has since gotten into a very run down state. Repairs are needed to many items and even though staff is perhaps difficult to obtain, cleanliness was terribly lacking, so much so that if it were a requirement for a license to do business, it should not be granted. Staff was very cordial but situation was out of their control.
