This place should be condemn! The rooms were disgusting. The floors were gross through the whole place. I think it was ran by a bunch of meth smokers. I would even let a dog stay there. I highly recommend not even think of going there. We did stay there.

The staff were very friendly and courteous, but the room was not good. The beds were not comfortable. There were lights and outlets that didn’t work. It is also very dated. It’s a strictly not smoking hotel but the hallways stunk of cigarette smoke.

Bathroom light did not work, plugged sink, dirty carpet, just overall worn down property. Would not recommend. Fire alarm went off at 5 am and we just left as firefighters told us we needed to evacuate.

Was in town for hockey games. Price was unmatched compared to other hotels in town. Reviews made me a little nervous but the hotel was in a great location, friendly staff and I felt safe. The place had a little bit of a smell, but it is an older building. Shower worked, heat/air worked, tv worked. Will stay again if the need arises.

We checked in, and while the hotel is older, we were ok. However, it was 19 degrees on our first night there and we had no heat in our room, we were all quite cold. We decided to check out after one night and the front desk staff was apologetic and very accommodating with that. They claim they submitted a form to Expedia to refund the second night and to take an amount off of the first night for the heat not working. I am hoping that is accurate, but struggling to find that on Expedia to find out the status. The contact/support option on Expedia is hard to utilize for these things.

There was dried vomit on the carpet beside the desk. No towels or toilet paper in the room. There was a dirty rag draped over the shower curtain. We went to check out immediately. The front desk was on the phone with the manager. The manager said as long as we did not write a bad review they would fully refund us. The manager then refused the refund when Expedia contacted them. Absolutely disgusted with the room and the manager.

It was horrible, smelly, unclean, not safe, and too many pets in the hotel. Smelled like smoke and urine. Staff were loud and yelling at each other in the lobby. Someone pulled the fire alarm and made everyone wait outside. The door to the room didnt lock, the lights didnt work, the beds and room were dirty and the smell was so bad it made my eyes water. Someone in the lobby asked for soap and the staff said they didnt have any. I made it to my room and within 10 minutes made it back to the lobby because it was so bad i could not stay there. They claimed they could not issue a refund because i didnt give a 24 hour notice. I spent 140$ on a room that was not even worth $5. Dont stay here unless you want to choke from smoke inhalation.

I like the Location and the Price. Building smells old, and the door to my room had an extremely loose door latch. However I will return to the property.

The heater in our room was very loud too hot so Dan turned it down then it got real cold. One of 2 washrags was pretty stained. The manager Teresa this morning was very nice and helpful. Kristina who checked us in was very nice also.

It was not what it looked like in the pictures. It was super sketchy and it was not clean. There were crumbs in the bed and it was clear the room was not cleaned. We left after 15 minutes and found a new place to stay.

The room was basically filthy....bathroom facilities had been cleaned but as far as the floor and other areas of the room...little evidence it had been touched. Bedding appeared to be cleaned....linens were but hard to say how many months or years it might have been since the bedspread had been laundered. Towels were clean. Basically a poor impression based on the rooms in this place look mostly like they have been repeatedly broke in to. TV had a couple of channels
