The maintenance guy followed me around. Light over sink burned out - told front desk the first evening there; at check-out still not replaced. ##### Bert Verified ### 2/10 Terrible #### Robert 18 Mar 2016 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Chernobyl Looked like an Eastern European war zone. If this had not been prepaid and I had arrived in daylight, I would not even have stopped in the parking lot. The exterior was run down, with sections of unpainted walls visible. About 1/3 of the parking lot was gravel patches. All vending and ice machined had been removed to the lobby. "Non-smoking" means currently not on fire. Smells like smoke is pumped into the rooms. There was garbage in the bathroom when we arrived (old beer cans and bottles). We had roaches in the room. There was debris in various piles in the parking lot and in corners of the hotel. As for the neighborhood, I will avoid this exit on I-26 going forward. Were there any positives? Yes. I lived to write this review. No bed bugs. I did not catch any weird diseases, and I am POSITIVE that I will never stay here again. ##### Robert Verified ### 4/10 Poor #### Mark 9 Jan 2016 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Parking lot is like traveling through a war zone ##### Mark Verified ### 2/10 Terrible #### Verified traveller 2 Oct 2015 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Never again For the price, what you pull up to is what you expect. Customer service was par. My issue was the room. It had barely been cleaned, still had hair in the shower. The worst part was that I kept feeling itching and biting on my feet, but didn't really see what was causing it. It took a few hours to determine the room had some ants in it. Not a lot, but obviously enough for my feet to notice if I walked around in sandals. Needless to say, I will never stay here again. ##### Verified traveller Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 10 Sept 2015 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort The only problem was no coffee was ready in the morning. ##### Verified traveller Verified ### 2/10 Terrible #### Verified traveller 21 Apr 2015 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Worst hotel ever Stayed one night for the PE exam.

The description of the rooms is very misleading....you have to pay more for a refrigerator/microwave in your room. There is no elevator, so I had to make 3 trips up a flight of stairs.

The room rate was very reasonable, the front desk staff was helpful and friendly, the room was clean and it was right off the interstate so we didn't have to mess around in the mornings. Plus it was across the street from a great BBQ place. We'll probably stay there again next year. ##### Verified traveller Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### john 8 May 2015 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities ##### john ---
