Room was not ready until 45 minutes to an hour after check in time. Other than that staff was friendly and room was clean.
Micah, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

Was confident for staying during the state fair but rooms were pretty dirty around the baseboards in the bathroom and felt unsafe outside of our room. We told the front desk we wanted towels and cleaning service when checking in but that didn’t happen.
Caitlin, 3-night trip

6/10 Okay

The carpet was filthy in the hallways and in our room I would not step on that carpet in my socks or my feet had to wear shoes. It was disgusting. Rest of the hotel was good.
Charles, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

Great place… terrible breakfast
Andrew, 1-night trip

2/10 Terrible

Wd didn't feel safe even going inside. Appeared to be a high crime area, homeless on the property outside of the building. Then we read the reviews, and they were terrible. No wonder the rate was so cheap. We were willing to eat the cost and went elsewhere.
