This is not a nice hotel at all. Picture a rehab but the people are trying to escape the clutches of a positive life experiences. You will leave with a story, and you will not be bothered in your room.

2/10 Poor

This was absolutely the most disgusting, dingy, nasty hotel I have ever step foot in. The front desk was dusty and the whole building reeked of cigarette smoke and trash!! We went around the back to get to our room, entered the building and there were bags of trash all over the place and a trash strung about the steps and hallway.

6/10 Good

The hotel was in the must of renovation. Nothing like what you see on the site. Floor stain and dirty. Haven't been vacuum or sweep in forever. Bed sheets nasty so being your own. Towels had stains on them. Good crumbs on draws and in microwave. Toilet seat coming apart so sit with caution. Shower had hair looked like someone had recently shaved. Load music throughout the night. Prostitutes everywhere. The whole experience was horrible after a 16 hour drive

2/10 Poor

I couldn’t even say that’s how bad the place was. The guy said that they were doing renovations and one of the rooms I was in was supposed to be renovated. But it was awful. There was holes in the wall. There was someone’s old razor in the bathroom, and an open beer bottle in the fridge that wasn’t even on. The comforter had cigarette holes in it and the comforters looked so old and dirty like they were from the 70s or 80s. Just inside in general walking to my room felt very troubling and I was kind of scared to even go to my room. Would not recommend at all. Do not go here.

2/10 Poor

At check in it took 15 minutes to get me a room that I had already reserved. No line. Plenty of rooms. The head person was eating with one hand and keyboarding with the other. Room was filthy. Not vaccumed at all. There was hair all over the toilet seat. The bed was comfortable and it was quiet, but I got up at 5 am and left. I didn't feel comfortable taking a shower.

This property has new owners who just acquired it within the last month. I’m confident that there will be many changes and improvements ahead. The location right off I-71 is convenient. I would stay here in the future should my travels are nearby. Thank you.
