The room was supposed to be a non-smoking room, but one could barely breathe the smell of the cigarettes. The previous guest didn't flush the toilet, we had to do that ourselves so we could use it. Dust was so obvious one could see it everywhere. I hope this was my last stay there.

Lumpy mattress and scratchy sheets; tiny bathroom without a vent, so small you could not fit a waste basket in it; faucet that keeps falling apart; air-condition unit stuck at the side of the bed, freezing the person sleeping there and keeping the rest of the suite hot; the general ambiance of a church community room; and the best part - the smell of many years of cigarette smoke in a supposedly smoke free hotel. The only benefit - quick access from hwy 95.

The bathroom was clean and the sheets were clean. There was a soda can, a cup, and used napkins left in the room which is unacceptable. The hotel, itself, is a little rundown. We probably would not stay there again.

Room was absolutely disgusting with garbage in the corners of the rooms, hair in the bathroom/shower, sink didn’t drain, stained sheets, dead bugs, and the mini fridge wasn’t plugged in and smelled awful. Told management at the front desk and was given another room that still wasn’t the greatest but was WAY better than the first. Management was very nice and apologized repeatedly for the first room we were given and even gave us a partial refund but because we booked thru Expedia, it’s almost impossible to get the “refund” since we used a third party. Tried to contact Expedia by phone and their messaging service, but that was a complete joke because they couldn’t “find” our itinerary confirmation # or reservation for that matter. Lesson learned to NEVER book a nonrefundable room and to never book thru Expedia because there customer service is nonexistent.

This property is conveniently located to shopping, dining, and not very far from the casino. However, the interior was something else... there was visible dust in the lobby; the first room we entered smelled like urine, crayon markings on the floor and walls, the carpet, sheets, and curtains were stained, the bathroom had mold around its tiles and there was noticeable dust on the carpet and bathroom floor; the second room was slightly better, though it had a stench to it, the couch and desk chair were dirty and stained, the walls were visibly dirty, the sink, tub, side tables, desk, and small fridge needed to be wiped down, the tiles were molded, the floor to the bathroom needs a broom and mop, and the carpet needs a vacuum. During my stay, I wondered if this is what a 3.7 rating is worth, have the standards lowered? We decided to stay after we wiped and cleaned as much as we could, lit some candles, laid towels on the bathtub floor, and avoided being barefoot in the room. Without improvements, I would NOT recommend this place at all! :( I was surprised to see a cleaning crew in the morning... I hope that this review can allow for some much-needed training and the purchase of a good vacuum.

Not a great stay.
This stay lasted 15 minutes at the most. There were stains of pen and something red on the sheets, it smelt very moldy in our room, and it was not bright or inviting inside the room. Felt very uncomfortable sitting on the furniture, and we did not spend the night there. We were given no partial refund even though we were in the room for maybe 10 minutes altogether. Very disappointed.

Very basic inn. Fine for us since we only needed a place to sleep. The room was dusty and everything was very dated & tired. Staff were extremely friendly & helpful though.

Only stayed one night. Was clean other than a tiny bit of hair on the corner of the bathroom floor. Personally would wear shoes in the shower/bathroom just like any shower that has been used by many people. Place was old and hallways had an old smell but the rooms smelled normal or at least ours did. Bathroom had an old smell. Good for the price would go again if in need for a one night cheap hotel. Hotel is close to a tun of stores and places to get food which was nice.

The hotel was disgusting. Clearly has not been vacuumed in a very VERY long time. The shower wall had mold in it and the floor was filthy. The lampshades were ripped and there was actual garbage under the nightstands.

The staff was nice enough if you saw them. The breakfast that they advertise was muffins, coffee, tea and bottled water. There was no water by 8am and they never replenished Saturday or Sunday morning. The light on one side our bed was unplugged and the plug was broken. The phone was not connected. As in there was no wire to the phone jack or any wires for that matter. Overall it was not a terrible place but it was more motel like than hotel or inn.

Room smelled moldy, bathroom was smaller than most closets. There was hair around sink and on shower walls. Do not look at the floor in corners or around bed or you won't be able to sleep. Lampshades had pieces broken out of them, no USB chargers, refrigerator was covered in rust. Ice machine was in the hallway right outside our door. Toilet was broken, so water ran 24/7. Save yourself the money I wasted staying here. It ruined our weekend.

The rooms were ok, a/c worked wonderfully. The bathroom was comically small and had some mold issues. The outlet in the sink area was ridiculously high I did not notice it at first, which was fine since I could not reach it anyway. Nothing was plugged in and there were loose cords everywhere. Terrible value for the price.

Consistent with the other reviews - a clean, comfortable, no frills stay. Bedding was extremely comfortable and air conditioning working well. Room had everything necessary for an overnight stay with an excellent location for easy access to area sites.
