There is a small elevator that barely is big enough for a luggage cart, complimentary water is only available in small flimsy cups, no bottled water. The lobby was the best part of the hotel. The room was like stepping back in time 50+ years ago. The sink is in the room and the air unit is in the wall, trailer style. I did not shower or use the bathroom; it was that bad. There are no USB connections, and you can see thru the door, it has an actual bedroom door doorknob, not exactly safe/secure.

Staff was nice. Location was decent for what I needed. The room was ridiculously bad for the price. Paid over $300 for a bathroom that looked like it was a closet converted into a bathroom. Couldn't even turn around in the shower without knocking into the walls. The sheets had make up or something on them. The TV was tiny. No key cards, but actual physical keys. No parking had to pay extra and walk to the hotel. Would not recommend.

This is the worst place I’ve ever stayed. We paid for 2 nights but only stayed one and didn’t care how much it costed us. Very old and outdated hotel. Thin walls, small rooms, old super uncomfortable beds, stained sheets, tiny bathroom, dirty yucky shower curtain…DONT STAY HERE. As my friend said it’s like the sayin..putting lipstick on a pig. They tried to paint the halls, rooms to make it look nice but it’s terrible!!!
No table or desk to put your belongings
Stark bright white light was the only light in the room. No lamps.
The chandelier had tons of cobwebs

We paid $380 for the night and couldn’t believe that it was really a $100 hotel. The staff was friendly but the room is very very dated and weird. I slept with all my clothes on and left as soon as the sun came out. There are no night tables. The sink is in front of the bed. The AC was old and loud. It was an actual key for entry/ exit and the door didnt feel securely closed. The mattress was on a metal/ spring base. This hotel is definitely for when roughing it. If i was paying $100 i suppose “ you get what you get” but for $380 whicg was clearly marked up after the winter storm its unacceptable. I actually considered leaving and sleeping in the Airport. Book with caution and low expectations

The room was extremely filthy, sheets and pillow cases stained and dirty and clearly was not changed after previous guests used the room. dead bugs under the pillows and sheets along with insect droppings. The bathroom was filthy, water leaking from underneath toilet(health hazard), toilet had urine stains clearly was net cleaned. Shower filthy, Floor was dirty. Susan who advised that she is the owner was very nasty and refused to issue a refund. Will be taking the pics and videos to the media, Healy and building department, and the State to address this. Utterly disgusting.

$300+ for a cheaper than motel feel. The bathroom door couldn't close, the paint on walls were peeling, the sheet on the bed was a dirty yellow instead of the white it looked like it was supposed to be. There was a no smoking sign , but yet the room smelled of cigarettes
