Breakfast generally described as poor or minimal (sometimes only coffee); a few guests noted a decent or inexpensive breakfast but overall subpar food service.

It is a decent place
Pros:

It was nice

Cons:

The pillows were over stuffed so not comfortable. No cups in the room so when asked they said they no longer provide them but there was a coffee pot in our room so not sure why they no longer provide cups. The bathroom door had a big ho,e kicked in it and the bathroom wall looked dirty

Pros:

The service had a mini toothpaste

Cons:

Being lied to about a pool... and thought in ohio it was odd to pay 3$ more for a smoking room but paid to find out what I already knew. The beds were not the dirtiest but definitely not clean. But hey at least this hotel i didn't see roaches in, so I guess there is that.

Unless you are desperate for a cheap place to stay, please avoid!
Pros:

Great location and one of our rooms was clean & well lit. Was inexpensive!

Cons:

Did not feel safe, felt like a lot of addicts or low income people living there. When maintenance came in for a problem with toilet while we were gone during day, they left our room propped open with all of our items available for anyone to steal! The second room we booked was dark and dirty and a/c never worked or was fixed even after complaining. Breakfast was awful with nothing stocked.

Horrible service.
Pros:

It had a bed.

Cons:

The room had no towels and no extra toilet paper. It’s like they cleaned and didn’t replace anything. And the front desk clerk was a rude nasty individual. I do not remember her name…but she was incredibly rude. Will not stay here again.

Pros:

The staff is excellent and they listened to my needs quite well. All questions were answered timely and helped me get supplemental room items that I needed such as a flat iron box to iron my clothes for the next day. The staff also helped switly in extending my stay upon request with no hiccups.

Cons:

There is the smell of smoke within much of the building especially as soon as you enter the building and walk all the way to your room. The alarm system of people smoking in their rooms is too loud too, it wakes you up too early should the guest next door misbehave and smoke in their room. Felt like boot camp again for that morning alarm. Otherwise, nice place.
