They did not receive our reservation before they gave it away. The room was very poor quality: old bed, furniture, smelled poorly. The staff person was not trained and was doing her best given the situation.

You get what you pay for
The wifi did not work the entire time. Dated and in poor condition. No badge entry on exterior doors so anyone can walk in. Entryway had a pervasive odor. Stayed two nights and did not have hot water one morning. No visible bed bugs and the sheets seemed clean.

Avoid this place like the plague. It is awful and could benefit from the services of a wrecking ball. Despite the ads on Expedia there was no wifi (they were “working on it”) and no hot water (they were trying to find a part but the stores were closed!). I call BA on both of those. No offers of reduced rates or refund, nor an attempt to offer a room at another property. The breakfast was some old looking bread and English muffins with peanut butter or jam. That was it. The toilet hasn’t seen a cleaning brush in years. There were curly hairs in the bathtub. Kinda glad that there wasn’t any hot water… Save your money. But a blanket and sleep in your car.

Dated but sufficient.
Exterior of hotel was in very poor condition. No security on exterior doors with locks removed or taped over. Interior appeared very clean but dated. Staff was very friendly and welcoming!

The staff was friendly when we checked in. The toilet tank flush buttons were not working properly. The bath tub drain was clogged and water was sitting in the tub after a shower for long time. I pointed out the issue at our checkout to the front desk staff.

This hotel is fine for a quick overnight for the budget minded traveler. Overall the property seemed quite run-down particularly the outside. The room seemed clean and the beds were comfortable. The breakfast was very minimal with very few items. The staff were friendly and helpful.

2/10 Poor

Our check in was fine. The accommodations were not. Our room was at the end of the hall. There were cigarette butts and a plastic knife in the hall outside. The room next to us had the lockset pried off. We had one, but the door had been attempted prior with the pry marks to show. Our non smoking room had ash and cob webs on the furniture and floor. The ice Machine was not working and propped against the wall at the entry. Christine moved us to a different room that smelled better, but pry marks and a neighbor door that had its lock set pried off were the same as the one we left. We did not feel safe. The carpet was worn and needed cleaning. We went out to eat and backed the car up against the bushes on return to help protect what was still in the vehicle. While our car had not been tampered with in the morning, the car parked across from us had two tires slashed and a window smashed. The accommodations resembled a flop house. With the deficits of this location and the ick factor, I would remove it from your offerings. The back building is the Econlodge and I connects to a nicely appointed Quality inn.

I booked this lodge for a 2 night stay. I didn’t even stay on site for more than 3 minutes. This place is FILTHY. From the check in area, to the foyer of the area of the lodge you’re staying in, to the room itself. The bathroom had hair all over it. Several again on both sets of bed sheets. Gritty carpet. I felt EXTREMELY unsafe. I looked in the hotel room and cancelled my reservation and booked down the street.

Stay elsewhere!
There was a Hole the wall & a large chunk of paint pealing off the. The roof was leaking in the hallway. A Continental breakfast is not dried out bread or english muffins for you to toast or dry cereal in my opinion.
