Nice place for the price
The lighting needs work and there are outlets that don’t work.
Other than that, the staff was very nice and accommodating.

Rude as it gets
The gal at the front desk was super rude and unwilling to do anything to help an already dreadful stay

The rooms are old, broken curtains, floor stains, walls not property paint, shower head dirty.
This place is more for homeless or hour stay.
We left after the first night.

Disappointed!
The TV did not work, Hair dryer did not work, no power or table lamp at work desk.
The AC/heater did not had missing louvers so I could not direct airflow. Ice machine broken.

Rooms were clean but basic. Beds and pillows not super comfortable. It was a great location and front desk attendant was wonderful. No hair dryer or iron. Pool is small and does not look inviting. Booked last minute and town was sold out so it served its purpose.

Great location but in poor condition
This is a run down hotel in the best downtown location. We had to switch out our room due to a broken bed and noise above. When we got the new room the fridge, microwave and tv didn’t work🙄- the only great thing about the place was the excellent staff service which apologized for the state of ill repair.

The room could’ve been nice but there were several things where a score of 2 or 3 really seals it. Check in was pleasant but if I show the pictures you’d get what I mean. The tub was filthy I could not get into it and the paint job was bad. The bed was clean and a bit hard but sleep capable.
