This place is falling apart and unclean. The room was dirty with a rusty razor blade sitting near the sink and stained towels/washcloths. There’s a dripping leak in the workout room and breakfast was nothing but dry cereal/waffles/oatmeal with no protein. Never going back.

There is no elevator so the hotel is not accessible for one and thw staircase is open concept so it's visually challenging as well. The beds were fine but the door bolt lock was brok and there was no door chain. The bathroom door didn't latch either.

Staff were friendly and helpful! It's an older hotel, but our room was clean, the heat worked well, hot water and good water pressure. It was also very quiet overnight. We were towing an RV travel trailer and appreciated the large parking lot across the street.

Definitely a hotel that has seen some neglect. The beds were comfortable and the TV was a nice size and in good condition. However the room was missing lightbulbs, had outlets that did not work and wasn’t the cleanest room I’ve stayed in.

The photos are very deceiving! The 1st room my kids and I were put in was extremely dirty. It had food on the floor, stains on the bedsheets, hair in the shower, and missing tiles in the bathroom. Went down and said something at the front desk and they put us in a 2nd room that was also dirty. The room had drugs in the dresser, missing tiles in the bathroom, the shower was black, and smelled like smoke. We were too disgusted to take photos. They refused to refund us when we weren’t able to stay there. Not a safe environment for children. There were also other people checking out due to dirty rooms.
