Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The property was a mess, very dirty inside and out. I booked my room for a Saturday and Sunday. It was very late Friday night when I booked this room. I drove there to see if I could stay Friday night also. I offered to pay, but I was told not to worry, because the refrigerator didn't work. Plus it was a room for the handicap, meani g the shower head was only four feet off tge floor. Door deadbolt didn't lock, screen falling off window. Back bathroom window,was very low to the ground and as far as I was co concerned it made me feel like that room could be easily broken into by anyone. The worst parr was that hetold me not to worry about paying for Friday, since I arrived there around 1am. He absolutely gave me the impression that I wasn't being charged for Friday, because of it being a handicap room and also the refrigerator didn't work. WhT happened was he did charge me for Friday and Saturday, so when I returned later Sunday to get some sleep and be able to shower in the morning, I couldn't get into the room. He had deactivated my key even though my booking reservation clearly was for the dates of that Weekend. I spoke to him and he clearly didn't care that I was inconvenienced and misled into a agreement for a room that was one of the worst places, I have ever been. No wonder some of us at times have a difficult time being patient and understanding when business owners don't care.

This was a miserable stay. The room was in such bad shape. Damage to the walls and ceiling were simply covered in drywall compound and left (no sanded or painted, just lumpy dry moldy compound). The second day we arrived to find ONE of the two beds had been made, while the other was left as it had been. The trash cans were still full. The man at the "Window" (they locked the lobby 24/7 and you had to use a walk up window like a cheap road side ice cream shop) barely spoke English and apparently has hearing issues. They have signage saying to be quiet and respectful, yet the what appeared to be family of the owners had a nice loud get together after 10pm in the lot. There were 20-30 people being loud and having a great time keeping everyone up. I would not recommend this location to anyone.

Property was not as it appeared in pics. Needs a major upgrade/ update.about 40 years past due. Pillows might as well been thrown out. Flat s o cakes, no neck support. Windows & door all needed to be replaced. Certainly not worth $ 150 a night. Staff not friendly at all, couldn’t even get into front lobby for check in, had to stand outside & talk thru a window.

The pictures showed a very nice place, however I think they were taken 40 years ago. It's old and run down. My itinerary said " kitchenette ". But it was just a broken microwave and and fridge. No sample soap or anything. No coffee maker. A broken ironing board leaning against the wall. Very disappointing
