It was good for a one night stay. Room was clean-ish and didn’t smell of old cigarette smoke. Bathroom tub could have been cleaned a little better. Breakfast was cold and lacking drinks but good.

Affordable but not fancy.
Hotel lobby area was clean and neat. Could definitely tell from hallway and stairwell that it was an older building. Handrails were missing and carpet torn on stairs. Advertised with casino but the main one was closed and the small one they lead us to appeared kind of sketchy.

Every section of the hotel smelled differently, not in a good way. Beds were small and uncomfortable. Hard to believe in today’s world hotels still don’t have queen size beds. It was ok there clean enough inside but outside looking really dated. I would stay there but my wife would not.

Stay was as I’ve experienced many times before. Included breakfasts, however, were not up the standard of previous breakfasts.

Jul 30, 2024
Started off very poor with the front desk. the gentleman had poor English and gave me wrong information of location and insisted I just pay a 201 dollar fee for one night. Wi-Fi was very poor and went I went to book the room it was the wrong location and the price was ok but when I went to confirm, the date changed to the next night. So I called Epedia meany times add was hung up on. And once again nobody can speak English much. Then the gentleman came out and apologized about the wrong address. I called Expedia customer service and not much they can do since its within 24 hours... called my bank and now waiting next what to do... I should not be charged the 80.?? for this issue

The room smelled of smoke. Stairways and hallways were dirty and gross. The front desk clerk was very friendly, so he needs a raise.

Won’t be Returning
Arrived at 1:24 am and no staff in site. Rang service bell 3 times before calling the hotel. Customer Service rep came from room behind counter dazed as if he’d been sleeping. Beds and room were decent. AC unit made the most horrible noise. Day 2 of stay, we were locked out of our room due to a reservation miscommunication between booking site and hotel. I provided proof of my reservation and receipt of payment. Rep stated rate was incorrect. Activated our key and off I went. Rudely woke up by housekeeping next morning!! Checkout was 11 am she knocked aggressively at 9 am.

Room was clean. Bathtub bottom was rough and stained. Noisy neighbors and walls were thin. Maybe tell all guests to be considerate of noise. There were a LOT of workmen staying here with sidewalk and parking lot gatherings and cookouts. However, i never felt unsafe. Breakfast was good but it was the same for the 3 mornings i was there. Eggs were too cold to eat one morning. I asked for regular coffee pack for one day and was told they were out. How can this happen? No worries.I got a cup of coffee from the lobby and covered it.Put it in my microwave and heated it in the morning. Pool and hot tub was clean but older. Missing paint in a pretty large spot on my wall. Parking lot surface was pretty rough. Walmart was almost directly behind me. Staff was most courteous. Price could be a little lower especially for the time of year.

The front desk staff was wonderful and let us check in early. He was helpful and very kind. The first room he sent us to was not cleaned and the door was open, so we went back and he quickly resolved the issue. Our second room had stains on the lamp, some flooring was ripped out, and it looked like the floor wasn’t fully vacuumed by the exterior door. We went to the hot tub also and there was moss growing on the outside of it. Overall, though, it was a pleasant experience. Room for improvement in the cleanliness/ upkeep.
