Was told to leave a credit card on file even though my room was fully paid for and had a credit card on file. Unprofessional of them. And their breakfast was horrible and very limited.

The price was great. The rooms had what you would expect like a microwave, etc but the continental breakfast was lacking (all carbs, no protein). I booked a room on first floor, because of knee, but got one on second (no elevator). Little things, but things to consider.

We checked in after a long 12hr or travel day and the first room virtually had no water and/or pressure the toilet tank was empty and the water was off! We asked for a different room and they said they would give us a very nice room! It was not nice this hotel is extremely run down, bedding stained and ripped,towels extremely stained, hair (not mine on the bedding & towels), mattress topper stained, chair stained, holes in the walls … I ended up asking for a clean comforter and they did give me one but it did not fit the bed! The bed was so soft it had a mattress topper that did not fit the king bed! Someone came knocking on our door at 11:30pm, woke me and scared me and I couldn’t get back to sleep, I didn’t answer it as my husband was fast asleep… the parking lot was empty so that should have been my first clue when pulling up! For the price of this room I expected more! I will never stay here again … we checked out before the continental breakfast so didn’t experience that!

This was the best night stay I've had on a last minute road trip. It was very quite, the bed was comfy and I got my deposit back in about 3 days! I wasn't expecting it because these places usually don't honor it but I did receive my deposit! That and how quite it was deserves a 5 star in my opinion!

The room was not clean at all. Dust/hair/debris on the floor (old Cheetos and bottle tops, among other clutter). Surfaces were dusty/dirty and, in some cases, sticky with whatever dried fluid was left on them. Also, one bed’s sheets were more wrinkled than I have ever seen sheets be and were put on the bed sideways. I had to remake the bed. Would not stay again.

Obviously they do not mop the floor at all. I took one of the wash plots and made a path from the toilet to the bed, and it was filthy dirty. The shower knob doesn't work, the shades are becoming shreds, there are so many things that need to be fixed in this room, It was unbelievable. The fixtures in the bathroom needed to be replaced, when they came to clean the room, they didn't even take out the trash.They took a glass, but they didn't replace it. Absolutely, I would never stay at this place.Nor would I recommend anyone to stay. Filthy filthy dirty and very poor maintenance.

Staff lacked in communication. Expedia posted rooms that weren't available. All towels looked stained and filthy. I asked for King bed and was given a two bed, and to just deal with it because it was all they had. I'm disappointed with this experience, I usually have decent ones.

The room was rough. The bathroom had major black mold on the ceiling and on the base of the railings. The shelf that was supposed to hold the towels was broken and falling off the wall. The bathroom was dirty and had hair all over the bathtub and toilet had blue stuff all over the seat. The room smelled of chewing tobacco and mushiness from what I’m guessing was mold. The pillowcases didn’t appear to be changed and had a blood stain from someone who probably had a bloody nose. Would never go back.
