It was awful.
Pros:

Nothing.

Cons:

The were many holes in the wall in the common areas and in our room. There was patching done on some walls but it was a poor job. Wall paper was pealing off the walls in our room. No hand soap in our room. No washcloths among the linens. Drain partially plugged in bathroom sink. Carpet was filthy. If you walked barefoot on the carpet and got in the shower, dirt literally rinsed off your feet, disgusting. Missing the sitting chair in the room. Thermostat did nothing (so no heat). No body wash or shampoo in the shower. One elevator was broken down and appears to have been that way for weeks. The common area was loud. A bunch of college or high school kids were hanging out in the common area until after midnight. Muzac on the sound system 24/7 and could hear it in your room. Overall the place smelled dank and musty. We would have left immediately but it was 8:30 and we were exhausted from being on the road all day so we toughed it out. I have traveled extensively for work and pleasure across the USA and I can say that in thirty years of travel this is the worst place I have ever stayed. It appears that at one time it must have been a beautiful hotel but it has fallen into disrepair and mismanagement. It is so far gone I would recommend bulldozing it.

Disappointing and we’ll stay elsewhere the next time we’re in the area.
Pros:

Location was close to the fairgrounds.

Cons:

We stayed here 2 yrs ago and the motel was clean and beautiful, so that’s why we booked here again. This time it was dirty, no toilet paper holder in the bathroom, no cups in the room, pool was emptied/ inoperable, only one of the 2 elevators was operational and was SLOW. Disappointed a motel could go downhill like that in 2 years.

The only thing positive that I can say is that my bed was comfortable.
Pros:

The bed was comfortable.

Cons:

No one came to clean the room or give towels or toiletries. They said they were out. I had to go to the front desk to ask for a roll of toilet paper. The elevator has been out since last year when I stayed there before. The pool was still out of service since last year as well. There does seem to be new staff members since I was there last year, but the accommodations were still the same. It’s a shame because that hotel looks like it could have some great possibilities.

Terrible. Stay away.
Pros:

Nothing. Unfortunately we booked it a year ago for Mom’s weekend and it has really deteriorated.

Cons:

Smelled bad, WiFi never worked, no chair, lamp or sofa, no minifrig, cups, or coffee maker as promised. Never saw any cleaning staff. Hotel looks like it’s ready for demolition.

Cons:

I booked this hotel specifically for the pool. Only to find out when we arrived the pool had been closed for months, but the hotel is still advertised as having a pool. I had 3 very upset little girls and we were there for two nights. The hotel’s cleanliness was very disappointing and the elevator definitely had issues. It was disappointing that if we wanted to use the stairs we had to go outside and then the door is broke so anyone could come into the hotel at anytime key card or not. The price was way too high for this facility. A very disappointing stay.

Keep Driving... Don't Stay Here
Pros:

Stayed here overnight on the way home from a vacation. Hotel was difficult to find. Small sign by a back road that was not lighted, no obvious sign on the side of the building. Very few lights on the exterior of the building.
Weird smell in lobby area. Polite receptionist but not dressed in anything obviously indicating they were an employee. We were told that the bar was closed that night. I don't think it's ever open. Stood for a long time waiting for the elevator when the employee asked if we had been waiting long. We were informed that the elevator sometimes turns itself off and need to be restarted. Employee went to get a key and then went into the elevator equipment room to restart the elevator. We chanced the ride because we were only going up one floor.
The room and bed/sheets seemed clean and didn't have the same strange odor. The carpet had been replaced by vinyl plank flooring. There was a small hotel refrigerator in the usual spot and then a larger, apartment-sized refrigerator in the spot where you walk from the bathroom to the bed. Definitely in the way.
The condition of the bathroom was an issue. Bubbled panels on the walls (water damage?), dents in the wall, vent cover dirty and hanging down, broken mirror, exposed water and drain lines, extremely dirty grout on the floor, dirty floor corners, bad caulking in the shower - like someone just threw things together to make it kind of work. The faucet on the sink was set back too far so the spout was not long enough for the water to clear the edge unless it was turned on full blast. The water did not completely drain from the sink. Dark stains in the sink.
We discovered that there is no insulation against noise when the people next door came in at 1:30 am. Their talking, making popcorn, tv noise, etc. sounded like it was in our room. Most of the noise seemed to be echoing though the connecting door.
Did not chance trying the included hot breakfast in the morning. When we checked out we were not even told that a breakfast was available.
Will not stay there again.

It was okay
Pros:

Potential, beautiful inside main floor, room was decent.

Cons:

Elevator almost squished me… very dirty some places ESPECIALLY the elevator … booked solely for the Jacuzzi bathtub, and it was broken, but the front desk lady was bragging about how it was updated in everything prior to us going up to our room.. pool was out of commission so that was added disappointment but not a deal breaker.. breakfast was AWFUL overall I needed a getaway and it was just good enough for us to not leave..
