The staff at night carried on all night. The place smelled like they had been smoking swisher sweets and other things in it My keys were deactivated every single day and I paid for a week. They acted as though it was an inconvenience for me to be there. Come to find out this is more or less a hotel for homeless people.icing on the cake there were cockroaches sitting behind the tv having a stare down with me at 10:30 pm 3 nights in.

No HEAT with temp in 50s during the day. Only one person working and she was unfriendly and hard to find. Property looked unmaintained and unkempt. Didn’t stay - checked out almost immediately. Would NOT recommend. When checking into our new hotel, someone in my party commented we’d just came from the bates motel and the clerk said oh you mean star of the lakes.
