Waited at front desk for 20 minutes before being waited on. Asked to see room prior to checking in because two people came to front desk asking for towels and were told there were none. Went to room and comforter had a big stain on it as did 2 pillows. Was taken to another room that was just as bad and had no towels. Area beside bed hasn’t been vacuumed in months. Asked for refund and left. Very disgusting hotel.

Their wifi was not working, pool was closed, no kleenex in room, only had 1 washcloth, phone didn't work, smelled weed in the hallways, washer/dryer out of order, not much left for breakfast 1/2 hour after it started - but 3 employees were sitting down with very full plates & one said "early bird catches the worm!" Used to be a Quality Inn. Do not stay here!!

It’s very dated. Not very comfortable. Loud. You can easily hear other guests. They had decorations from every holiday up at the front desk and it just looks messy. Just pulling up you will see it’s not kept well, the curtains hang all broken and it needs tending too. The housekeeping was being lectured when I walked in to check in and they saw me waiting but didn’t ask if I needed help. So I left and waited to come back and check in. Luckily the snow storm was coming so I decided to leave the hotel early. Pool was broken as was the vending machines. It’s in a perfect spot but it’s not a good place to stay. I was there for work. If you want a cheap spot that’s walking distance from shopping and food it’s ok. I won’t be back.

Not Ready For Prime Time
It seems that this hotel was newly acquired from another hotel owner who didn't take care of the place. This hotel should not be open until a lot of repairs are done. We registered for a suite with a king bed and another room with two full beds. We were contacted to say that they didn't have that room available at the time because it wasn't ready. So we accepted a room with two doubles at a lower price. They didn't have any rooms with two queens. The first room smelled like smoke, though it was supposed to be smoke-free. They moved us down the hall, but this room smelled foul and we discovered half-eaten pizza under the bed. The third room was across from the office on the first floor. This one was acceptable for smell, but we did find some water bottles under the bed. As we were trying to fall asleep, we could hear the conversations coming from the office and as people passed by the door. It wasn't very soundproof. On top of all of that, the trash bags that were collected from cleaning the rooms were just left at the end of the hall by the stairs. I don't know why they weren't thrown in the dumpsters. And the side entrance didn't even have a latch on the door. You could just pull it open. There was no breakfast service and the vending machines were all empty. We did get a signed note from the manager saying that we were entitled to 50% off of our next stay because of all of our troubles, but it was all handwritten. I did get a good night's sleep, regardless.

Not the best
The hotel looked great online, but after check-in the room had mud in the floor, a used fake nail on the safe. There was only one towel on the room for two of us. No one was ever at the desk because they were outside somewhere. Super noisy also. Breakfast was decent at least.

The description is WAYYY too flattering
The hotel must be mid renovations. When we showed up, there was a handwritten note on the door to call a number for check-ins. Then, they put us in a room that was not ready; the door was propped open and the bedding was off. We got a new room, but it was still in rough condition. The hallways were being painted. The pool was out of order. Nobody seemed to know what was going on, and the worker who let us into the new room said, "You shoulda seen it a few months ago. It was even worse." Not a great stay. Super shady.

Room was clean. But Shower had hair in it. One towel for 4 people. Towel was rolled up and im not sure it was clean. Hallways were dirty and paint job left something to be desired. Staff left front desk at 10pm. Pool was closed. I was told breakfast was 6am to 930am. There was no breakfast served. Beer cans were left out on front desk as if they had partied the night before. My family felt unsafe there as if I was staying in a drug house. It was an awful experience.

Dont stay here!
Not the worst experience ever but not great. Definitely would not recommend to anyone! Pros: bed was new & comfortable. Room pretty clean. No bugs. Cons: mostly everything else. Started with check in process - waited for the 2 workers to finish a conversation then the first words spoken were "do you have a reservation?" Not a hello, or how can we help you type of greeting. After giving my name, the 2 workers did things on the computer while ignoring us. Was asked to sign a paper and then was handed two key cards. Nobody checked ID, confirmed reservation length, told us about amentities, etc. Hallway smelled like cigarettes but room didn't smell. Shower barely worked first 2 days (flow was a trickle) but started miraculously working the 3rd day. TV did not work ever. When reported, we were asked to do the channel set up. A worker? (not sure who was a worker and who wasnt as they all wore street clothes and no name tags) came to do channel set up but it still didnt work afterwards. Noticed a stain on the bedsheets. When we told front desk, they handed us unfolded sheets from a large bin - expecting us to change our own sheets. Housekeeping never visited during 3-night stay. Returned 1 night to find staff partying in parking lot w/portable grill. Curtains would not completely close & had to use a hair clip (1sr flr, facing parking lot). Dilapidated furniture, only 2 hangers. No iron. Didnt look at breakfast due to how shady everything else was. Unable to get receipt.

Disappointing
Overall disappointed with the condition of this place. Beds were awful, no clock or phone in the room, an alarm went off all evening down the hall, not a very secure building. When we arrived, there was a scuttle in the lobby with a non guest and guest that made the location not very safe. A 2nd story window was open with no screen at the end of the hall and the person checking the rooms looked like she had just stepped out of a strip club. Will not stay there again.
