One of the very worst hotels I’ve ever stayed at. The woman at the front desk was totally rude and unprofessional. Once we arrived in our room, it reeked of pot, so they put us across the hall!! Seriously??? I would never stay at this hotel again!!

We paid for two queen size beds and the beds were definitely not queen sized - they were doubles. Sheets had tears in them. Room had a strange smell. The restaurant next door was very loud late into the night. The TV had a large stripe across the top third of the screen that was burned in and never went away and blocked the show.

I do not like to leave negative reviews but in this case I wish there had been reviews for me to read. We only paid $71 per night with an Expedia promotion and for that amount I guess it was OK. But if I had paid more than that, I’d have been very disappointed. Mediocre breakfast with no fruit or yogurt. They did have a nice waffle machine. And coffee available in the lobby AlI day. I calle ahead the night before and was told that there were microwaves and refrigerators in every room. But the room we were assigned did not have a microwave. I’m guessing we could’ve been moved, but I didn’t discover it until we were all unpacked and settled in and just didn’t wanna mess with it. Bathroom tub needed to be re-caulked. A big chunk of the tub was missing showing the metal underneath. Also, there was no way to use the luggage rack to get the luggage to your room as there was no elevator and you had to walk up 1/2 flight of steps to get to the main level or down 1/2 flight of steps to get to the lower level. And then just small things were a miss. Like some brackets on the drapes were missing so that the drapes didn’t quite cover the window. No coffee pots iThe front desk staff all three days we were there was extremely helpful and pleasant. I felt bad for the young man one day as some unhappy customers were really abusive and yelling at him For something they were not happy with. He stood there and politely stayed calm, but tried to explain It wasn’t anything he had control over.

Short and sweet
I had a late check-in, but everything was great when I got there. They even gave me an upgraded room for the same price, even though I was checking out that morning. Nice simple breakfast with the waffles, cereal, etc., available. Location is good to get on to the highway.

When we first checked in, the employee was not interested and was rude. After we arrived in our room, we started to unpack and that is when we noticed something crawling across the bedspread. It was a small white worm. Then we found food remnants left by the baseboard of the bed. The smell in the room was awful as well. We had planned to stay for two nights and instead turned in the keys and left. This was a bad experience and I have traveled across the country and stayed in many hotels.
