Room 231 was disgusting. The bedframe had mold and brown crust on it, the lamps flickered, the sofa fabric was worn through, and the floor had greasy spots on it from where cleaner or pest spray had been used and not wiped up. I had to spend the night somewhere else.

Low standards

The man at check in was very nice but all downhill from there. The room was not clean and smelled really bad from cigarette smoke. We loaded our clothes back in the car and left. This hotel has a long way to go but appears the owner is trying. I didn’t even try to get my money back even though he might have given it back.

Never again

1. They claim I had to sign a charge so they would get paid by Expedia. I told them no I have never been told I have to do that. Then they showed me the credit card # , they were wanting me to sign to be charged. 2. No phone, no clock 3. Furniture looked looked terrible it was all scratched up and very old. 4 ceiling looked like it had caulking between boards.

Good customer service

The room was clean, but since there is a bar off the lobby, the smell of stale smoke in the lobby and hall outside the room was very strong. The parking lot was very full from the bar on Friday night, so i parked a long way from the lobby despite having a handicapping placard. I had puppies with me, with a heavy crate, but there were no first floor rooms available. However, the clerk who checked me in offered to help with the crate, and she did so off the clock. The gentleman who checked me out also helped me bring the crate down and was very pleasant.

It was a room, that’s about all I can say. Management/desk attendant was rude, condescending and disrespectful on the phone and in person. 97° day and no A/C on at all. The room was stifling hot at 9pm. Miserable. At least it could have been turned on in the afternoon and set at 80° to take the edge off and make it easier and faster to cool down. But I can tell you, management doesn’t have the capacity to be thoughtful. Ridiculous.

NEVER AGAIN.

First off, the room smelled awful when we walked in. When you take a shower and then want clean towels (since they don't leave but a few), you have to bring your wet, dirty towels to front desk and wait awhile before they come back to give you towels and same goes for ice. I don't know where staff goes, but it takes awhile before they come back with a small amount of ice. They over charge you , not mentioning on website that there is a large fee for a pet. I had paid in advance and didn't like having to pay more after I got to front desk. Tried to check out on time with no person anywhere in the lobby building to take key card and called front desk with no answer at all and no one showed up. While waiting, found out from another guest that their room smelled very bad, also and they didn't like the trouble it was to get service, ice, or clean towels. Even had to take our garbage out so it wasn't over flowing in the room. Neither of us will ever stay at this place again.
