I had bugs in my bathroom. They gave me a different room from the first floor when I brought up broken furniture. I am missing my watch. They were nice about not charging me for the broken room, when I was more concerned about the fact they gave me a room with broken furniture. I usually travel with a hair dryer but didn’t since most hotels have them. No hair dryer. It is dog friendly but I had dogs barking in four different rooms near me. It had a kitchen but nothing in the drawers or shelves to cook with. I was a short stay but thought of leaving just for health reasons.

Nice staff, nice room, affordable. Only downside was that we woke up to our room reeking like cigarettes and all our bags/clothes smelled like smoke too. Didnt smell at all when we checked in.

It says the front desk is open 24/7. We got to the hotel at 2am, and the doors were locked. There’s a phone sitting there to call for front desk help, and I used that multiple times with no prevail. Thankfully another guest had let us into the lobby so we could wait and avoid the cold. Thankfully it was booked through Expedia. After an hour of waiting, somebody finally showed up to check us in. The room we got was dirty, freezing, and the door looked like somebody had kicked it in recently. After telling them that we will not be staying in that room due to safety concerns, the front desk ‘upgraded’ us to a ‘suite’ for the inconveniences. The suit was definitely not my definition of a suite. The next morning we left at 9 and there was still nobody at the front desk to check people in.

I am a traveling poker dealer. I am in a new city every month. I am originally from Flint, MI, I have stayed in some bad hotels. This is by far the worst hotel I have ever stayed in. There are bugs in my room (mostly fruit flies but I also saw a roach run underneath my refigerator). The floors are disgusting, I dared to step off the bed without my socks on and my feet literally stuck to the carpet. I ordered a pizza last night and tried to heat up the leftovers in the microwave, but they came out smelling very weird, like the microwave is dirty. When people in the other room use the toilet, I can smell it in my room. I went down to the desk to ask for another room, but I checked in at 9:50 pm and the desk closed at 10. I have already cut my losses. I’m just hoping my review will save someone else the inconvenience of staying in this absolutely disgusting hotel. They need a health inspector here ASAP!!!

Hotel was clean, however it was noisy. You could here people in their phones on facetime and/or speaker phone, lots of parking lot noise, can hear all kinds of sounds from inside the room even with the fan going.

Not The Worst but can use some work.
Not the worst place that we have stayed at but definitely could use some updating. Amenities were non existent and I'm pretty sure pets can stay in all the rooms since my allergies kicked off as soon as I walked in the door. We did not request a room for a pet. Shower curtain blows on your body in shower so quite annoying and complimentary coffee and donuts don't start until 8:00. Really, most people are gone by 8:00. Pretty Lame overall.

Average for the price
The bed was very uncomfortable. We stayed on the first floor so it was very noisy especially with the refrigerator that was in the room. There was a big stain in the sick as well. Other then that everyone was friendly.

Family Gathering
The room was nice. Although it's a suite, if you want to cook anything, you need to bring your own pans, utensils, plates, etc. Everything worked well. The front desk person was very helpful, even helping me find a restaurant that some friends had recommended. We would stay there again. There is no breakfast, but McDonald's is walking distance. Nice size refrigerator with a freezer.
