Everything is old and dirty. Dust everywhere. Booked a three night stay only stayed there for the first night due to wife having severe allergic reaction because of so much dust. Not sure what is going on there but would avoid at all cost.

Property was clean, but rooms were a bit run down. AC/Heat was not working properly and was obnoxiously loud when used. There was no water pressure. Staff was asked not to disturb and the knocking on the door started at 10am on a 3 day stay.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
We were in a first floor room. In order to plug anything in,I had to move a dresser. Every wall was chipped. And/or rusted. We asked for more towels. Front desk said ask housekeepers.. housekeepers said as front desk. The bath towel was no bigger than a cloth diaper. And we never got anymore.

The property used to be a nice local place to stay to be near my parents, but it has completely declined. Unless you're looking for a no-tell motel, stay elsewhere.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
If you can stay away from this property please do. First off the tub looked very filthy. The toilet bowl looks very disgusting with yellow stains inside of it. The sheet had a burnt hole on it. The pictures must be at least 15 years old. Room number 105 did not look anything like the picture.

Liked: Staff & service
Property was convienent for our plans we had this past weekend. The young man that works at the front desk was exceptionally friendly and welcoming. Room wasn't as clean as we would have liked. We got parking right in front both nights we stayed over and felt better about this since we had a nice car rental.

The room was heavily lived in. More of a low rent apartment. Sheets, towels, all stained. Still had last persons hand towel in the shower. Every wall had marks/ damages. Not worth $200 plus per night. Would expect for $60 a night
