For the price we didn’t expect much-we could deal with the area and the company around the other rooms—but no heat at night —no no no. Had to sleep fully clothed in shoes to try to keep warm! Staff was super nice. It was run down — but the cheapest

Good Enough... 👍

The room was adequate... clean and near the office... my only minor complaint was the noise of neighbors... throughout the night... even up to 3am. It's central to several restaurants and a grocery store, also within walking distance of a nice lake.

The lovely black lady who checked me in was the highlight of my stay. I was sick and she gave me a blanket from the dryer and helped me unlock my room. Otherwise was one of the worst hotels having worked at one rated and priced the same i was astonished at the bad quality. But only stayed a nigjt thankfully.

The front desk was fine, but not positive or kind. The rooms were incredibly worn down and the cleanliness wasn't good. There were other people's hairs all over the bathroom, and every corner was dirty. We weren't given any towels. It was a "you get what you paid for" experience. The bed was surprisingly comfortable and the air conditioner worked sufficiently.

I never thought I would have to write a review like this in my life but here I am. I guess, in order to get everything, chronologically is best. Upon check-in, the lady was anything but friendly. She pointed to the signs that say there's a $200 fee for smoking, unauthorized guests, or pets - this has a purpose. When I got my room, the bathroom window was open, so I went to close it and looked out quickly to see ladies panties, baby oil, and feminine hygiene products outside the window - is this establishment hourly? When I did close the window, I noticed the massive pile of ash on the window sill that was clearly not cleaned - who would have known about smoking when the smoke detector was most obviously not operating, as the battery compartment was open and empty. I continue to look at the bed, which has a comforter with dozens of burn holes in it and sheets that were anything but clean. Because of this, we went to the front desk to ask for new sheets and the response was "You're lucky you're not on the second or third floor." Apparently stairs are not in the cards for the front desk. So, time for a shower... but no towels, no soap, no shower head - AMAZING pressure, though. I do hope you enjoy the towels we left for you, maybe another guest can be so lucky to be able to shower. Fast forward to the morning before checkout and we have craziness of domestic violence next door. I do hope the poor guy dealing with that absolute basket case of a woman didn't get in any trou
