The location is good. The state of the common areas was very dirty. Other guests kept us awake throughout the night. The Continental break was very limited (cereal and coffee).

Avoid!! Not as nice as the pictures
The shower curtain did not cover the full shower, the shampoo were the size of takeout ketchup packets, the entire hotel smelled of weed, breakfast was Raisin Bran and something that was out but there was no place to eat. I don’t think the floors have ever been mopped my feet were black after my shower.

Not a good stay
When we arrived we had to dial zero for service at the front desk. Smelled of weed on first floor and second floor. Carpet was dirty. Our room the bathroom was dirty. My daughter’s room was not clean in the bathroom also she found a bug in one of the beds. We ended up leaving at 2am. We spent a total of 2 hours in our room. Lost out on my money.

The place is in red of a refresh. The electrical out let’s do not retain the plug in charger for my phone, it fell out of the wall socket. I tried the others, same thing. There is a switch on the wall as you come into the room, normally it turns on the lights in the room, but this one turned off the tv and the refrigerator!!?? Not much sound suppression between rooms above. Fortunately everyone quite down as the night progressed. Not a bad price for a place to sleep for the night. Location was quite and well lit outside at night.

When I arrived I was told NO pets allowed. How devestating I was after sn 8hr drive. The owner allowed me to stay. Looking around the lobby I could tell why the price was so low. It was NOT clean at all. Entrance door you could tell that it wasnt cleaned on a daily bases. The tiny micro wave that was offered in the lobby-I was afraid to use it or any of the vending machines due to all the vision of uncleaniness. There is no carpet no were except on the stairs which were filthy. You could tell the hallways have not been swept OR washed in days. This was the same in my room. I just about fainted when I saw the barhroom. There was black on the bathtub floor and the water was draining very very slow where that it has not be cleaned of hair for YEARS. The sink had scum under the drain stopper. I was to have a microwave, fridge and phone. I had none of that. I didnt even have a box of kleenex. There wasnt a clock or radio for me to know the time. I mentioned about the phone no working and never did get it replaced. I had requested a wakeup call and given this dirty clock. There was a charge for having clean sheets and towels and room cleaned. I never slept well the whole time because I didnt feel comfortable with the conditions. I feel I should be REFUNDED!! What an insult to another human. The Board of Health needs to step in on this place!!!! NEVER AGAIN!!!!

It looked clean in the lobby and at first glance of the room, but you just get a not nice vibe from it. The beds were a bit starchy, there were unexplainable noises at random times that seemed to come from the door, the toilet didn’t have a cover, the tub was very obviously stained, and the AC smelled a bit humid. If you are in need of just a quick place to sleep, maybe, but otherwise the other hotels near to it are better.

Manager was very nice and accommodating in getting a phone for the room on day 2 of our stay with free long distance calling, much appreciated, as feeling unsafe without one. No microwave in the room as advertised and had to use the one in the lobby. Lighting could not be adjusted, only on/off, and only one light between the beds.

Room was dirty, found bugs crawling on floor and no where to put your luggage but on the floor as they had no luggage trays. Also everything about the room was old and out of date. Bed and pillows were lumpy, no phone or alarm clock in room. Express breakfast was either 2 types of cold cereal, pancakes, or muffin and gravy. I will not be staying there again. If your looking for a cheap hotel room to go to this one is it.

Worst hotel ever. It’s old and smells awful prepare to smell cigs 24/7. There really isn’t safety at all. Rooms aren’t clean. Bathrooms are disgusting. Shady people coming in and out being loud in the hallways. Save your money and go somewhere else.

Don't Do It-The price isn't worth it!
I think it is best to start with the positives: The location of the place was great since we were going to the Coliseum, which was a mile down the road. The two workers at the front desk were very kind, nice people. Very engaging to talk to. The shower had a good temperature and decent flow of water. The bad- everything else. The place is very dirty. The one blanket you get on your bed was disgustingly filthy. We didn't use them because I didn't want to touch it. The bathtub had hair in it, as did one of our towels. When I asked for an extra towel they didn't have any. The bath room vent didn't work and the wall unit that is the heat and AC had the plastic cover fall off. There was food in the refrigerator from the previous person in the room. The carpet on the stairs is filthy. I found an ant crawling on me during the second night of our stay. The biggest issue I had was that the entire place smells like cigarette and pot smoke. As I walked out of the hotel two people were smoking a joint and a third had his window open and was blowing it out the window. Then cigarette smoke was so thick that it was coming through the vent in the bathroom into our bathroom. It was nasty. This was probably the worst hotel that I have ever stayed in just because of the cleanliness of the place. Even with all the issues, I do reiterate that the people who worked the front desk were great! Spend the money and go elsewhere.

Unclean room
The cleanliness of the beds were fine. However, there was hair left from other people in the bathroom. When my son took a "clean" towel, a glob of hair fell from the towel. The carpet in the room was dirty and felt sticky. The rooms could use an upgrade.

I had to wait for a staff person at the front desk when I checked in and out. I couldn’t get the TV to work but the room was clean. The mirrors had streaks on them and the tub was dirty. I also found the top outlet didn’t work because my phone didn’t charge. The bed was comfortable though. They had breakfast of biscuits and gravy plus little pancakes. You could also have cold cereal.
