Autumn

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
I was extremely disappointed in the condition of the room. There were flies flying around and bugs smashed around the room. The bathroom was filthy and not cleaned, including the entire room. The floors to the walls to vents in the heating/cooling system, and the microwave and fridge. I explained my concern to the manager at the front desk and all he said was he could refund me to stay somewhere else when I had already paid for the room. I would not have received my money back in time to find another place to stay. He would not offer a clean room and said he had no vacancy when the vacancy sign was on.

Gross and disgusting

It was so dirty and gross. I went and bought bleach to pour in the tub and toilet. We were crunched for time so we didn’t have much choice but to stay and make the best of the situation.

Very convenient to I81. Owners are responsive to requests. I have stayed here four times in the past few months. Three of the four times I have had to either have my room cleaned or moved to another room. For some reason, cleaning is not an automatic here and it's a shame. The rooms are modest but serviceable and cleanliness should be easy.

The room needs to be cleaned better. The sheets had red stains on them that seemed to be old. It looked like blood. The bathroom was missing a shower head. The microwave oven was not working. There was just one bath towel for two persons. The hand and face towels smelled like they had been used in the kitchen. They smelled really bad. The tub was very dirty, like if it had not been cleaned for months. The sides and floor of the tub were black with dirt. It was awful!, overall. I will never stay there again.

It was a late check in, tired, and wanted to rest. The room was very hot. AC would not go or even set below 80 degrees even after 20 mins or so. Also 4 stink bugs was congregated on top of the curtains. Top it off, the fire alarm was just hanging by the wire from the ceiling. I promptly turned the key back and left. Maybe I am just one off but cannot recommend
