There was a hole in the bathroom wall, as if someone who stayed in said room before opened the bathroom door with force and left a door handle sized hole.

This is essentially comparable to a Motel 6 but pricier not as nice. The shower was new and upgraded but the bathroom wasn’t great. My primary concern was safety as the bathroom window did not lock and could easily be opened from the outside as we discovered the next morning. We were on the first floor.

Jessica

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Checking in the property the wait was quite long as no one was at the front desk & a bell was there to ring them over meaning this is a normal or frequent occurrence at this hotel. And when the worker came out she came out in a face mask. She was nice enough to wave an early check in fee, which is appreciated. Overnight the people next to us were loud on the phone or with their TV, but we didn’t feel safe enough to tell them anything or leave the room in the evening due to the poor lighting around the rooms. And the front desk again looked abandoned & doors appeared locked. Overall, not a good place to stay for females.
