No issues, property is dated and so are the rooms, had a minor hole in the wall in my room, but overall for a quick stay you can’t really beat this place for the price. Convenient location, friendly staff, the room was clean enough for me. No real issues, I’ve stayed before and will stay again.

Upgrade from the Buckeye…

Our room could have used a deep cleaning, but the bed was very comfy. Sheets were clean. No remote for tv, when given a universal it needed to be programmed which we never did get to work. It was definitely an upgrade from across the street but certainly could be worked on to be nicer.

It is in a crappy area of town, run down, there's a homeless camp next to it, where they burned down the wooden fence to the hotels parking lot. breakfast was bare minimum, cereal, 1 gallon of milk, a loaf of bread, a few packs of oatmeal, and a few bagels. Nothing to put on the bread or bagels, no juice or water. The room could have been cleaner but not bad. On a positive note the bed was comfy.

The room my son and I stayed in seemed clean when it came to the bathroom and the bed to sleep in. However, it was horribly unkept. Our shower/tub was cracked, toilet paper was stuffed down the sink so it clogged up, there was a huge hole in the wall and I could stare into the inside of the wall, it was extremely dusty and hangers weren’t put away. I will never stay here again. This place need remodeling badly!!!

Hotel is in terrible shape. We were able to be given a room that doesn’t smell of cigarette smoke even though it’s a no smoking hotel. There were many many cigarette burns in the carpet of our room and even some on the mattress. The desk attendants were very friendly but just shrugged and said people still smoke on the rooms. Kind of like “ what can we do about it?”

The staff were fine and the linens surprisingly comfortable. The physical building was dirty and had holes in the walls. Like, anything fabric was great, but anything made of different material was sketchy. Heater worked well, and had no problems with the plumbing except that it was on the slower side. Feels like an older property in need of a remodel. Also the sign was not lit at night which made it hard to find.

Well since I knew where this hotel was, I did not have very high expectations. But it was worse than I thought. They had not towels or wash clothes. When I asked for a towel they said they had no clean ones and to check back in the morning. Also the so called bold coffee was just water with a little bit of coffee in it. And breakfast was nothing to write home about. Only cereal. Staff was friendly and security was present. So that was a good thing.

Breakfast was only from 7:30-8:30. Refrigerator in breakfast area was warm, and milk inside was warm. There was cereal, but couldn’t eat it with with milk. Waffle machine was broken. Some packaged breakfast pastries. Signs indicated that there would be ‘consequences’ if any food left the area. In the room, the refrigerator was broken, as was the cabinet door where the refrigerator was stored. Ice machine was broken as well. Beds were comfortable and appeared clean. Would not recommend or stay here again.
