But needs change, And up keep and upgrading. Would not recommend and would not stay again. Again staff excellent!!!!!!!!!!
Cheryl, 1-night trip

2/10 Terrible

This was the quest hotel we've ever stayed out. No towels, no toilet paper, they weren't even going to give us a key card because they didn't have any. They had to go find a random one to give us. Nothing worked, everything was dirty and gross. Tub was worthless. No coffee just a dirty gross coffee pot.
The nasty front door
The throw away coffee filter holder. Been used a dozen times I'm sure

Location is good. Property is bad. Nothing for guests to break because almost everything is very broken.
Weiai, 1-night trip

4/10 Poor

The hotel has not been updated in years. Towels old and bare not matching. Tv internet spotty always buffering. Ice machine broken and window screen torn. Soap was tiny and didn’t lather up. Only good thing was the lady working in the office she was nice and helpful.
Yolanda, 3-night trip

2/10 Terrible

I was charged an additional twenty for booking through Expedia. The property managers child was yelling down the hall until midnight when the power went out for the third time. And they finally decided to leave the breaker off which meant no fan or lights. I had to use my phone flashlight in the restroom and shower. Plus it was hot and I sweat all night. Don't stay here, it's not worth it.
andrew, 1-night trip

2/10 Terrible

Not what was advertised on the internet. Photo was not even close to what the room was like. Front desk staff was great. Room and overall site was questionable. A lot of transients in the property. Wife did not feel safe.
