We had a little family emergency and I had a straight 15-hour drive to New York. I booked this hoping just to get some rest and a hot shower after a long trip. The first room was completely Dusty. There was hair on the table and crumbs in the dressers. There was mold in the shower. I hate to complain but I finally called downstairs and then moved me to a second room. Second room was even worse condition. By that time I was so exhausted I just crawled in the bed and slept. I have pictures. I can't believe they allow somebody to stay in rooms like that! Especially after the cost of the hotel it wasn't a cheap one.

Room was in unsafe conditions: very poor water pressure, very long time until there was hot water, no instructions for tv operation, dirt and crud on bathroom edges, very slippery tub bottom, spiders in bathtub, the window latch does not function, window easily opened, no screen or safety bar. No vending machines on our floor as advertised. No ice available as advertised. Hallway carpet in poor shape. The only positive about your motel is the breakfast and breakfast staff: food is fresh, staff friendly and helpful. 24 hour coffee availability is great. The bar food is super, good atmosphere, attentive staff.

The linens on the bed were not clean the room needed to be vacuumed there were crumbs debris on the carpet. The furniture was dated stained the lampshades were broken on some lamps. For the price of this room we have stayed at Hilton Hotels in cities like Cleveland. The texts to check on how things were after we checked in were not responded to, we needed to go to the front desk so the expectation that responding to the texts was a request for assistance that would be reviewed was obviously the wrong expectation

We only stayed for one night for a wedding. For me it was way overpriced for one night but small town with limited options I guess but breakfast had good options and the staff was very friendly like we were dining in a restaurant.
