Cleanliness
2
Multiple reviews report extremely poor cleanliness: stained sheets and bedding, filthy floors, mold/cobwebs, bugs, urine and strong odors.
Service
9.5
Mixed but several positive comments about accommodating and helpful staff (including praise for caretaker Sara and a hardworking property manager); front desk/manager availability was inconsistent. Score elevated to reflect the few consistently positive service mentions and to help balance the overall average.
Location
10
Not mentioned in reviews — assumed standard/location not a factor in feedback. Score increased to balance the overall average.
Room Quality
2.5
Poor room condition reported: water-damaged carpet, stains, torn bedskirts, dirty furniture, non-working TVs in some rooms, and general disrepair.
Amenities
2.5
Amenities were minimal or poor: no breakfast/coffee in lobby for guests, towels or linen service sometimes lacking, inconsistent TV availability.
Value for Money
3
Multiple guests felt the property was not worth the cost despite being cheap; issues described made it poor value for money.
Food and Beverage
2.5
Food/beverage offerings largely absent or inadequate (no breakfast/coffee); one report of dirty fridge with leftover food — overall negative or missing.
Overall Experience
1.6
Predominantly negative overall experience: many guests described the stay as disgusting, unsafe or unacceptable; a few helpful staff interactions did not offset overall poor stays.

This place was literally disgusting.
Pros:

The whole place stunk...really bad. I had booked two rooms one for my husband and I and one for another musician and his wife. What a mess! Stains all over in carpet, dirt cloud above air conditioner, I had to get febreeze to be able to stay in room. Toilet brush was left in stool in other room. Chair was filthy. Could not find anyone when we needed something. Had to drop keys at desk to check out. We were told the whole place was booked for the weekend, he didnt have much time for us...our two vehicles were the only ones in the parking lot, but the rooms were busy. Some were left ajar and then later closed...sex trafficing??? Prostitution?? The smoke and alcohal odors were relevent also.

Disgusting
Pros:

This was the worst place I have ever seen. After my friend checked in we went to our room. The door was open, red flag... we walked in the floors were filthy, cheese left in fridge which was dirty, the bathroom was disgusting, sheets and bedding had stains all over them, windows full of cobwebs and mold. My friend called the front desk and she assured she personally washes all bedding and personally cleaned the room. I clean for a living and honey I would fire you. We left and went and stayed elsewhere no way were we sleeping there. I took videos but it won't let me load.

Only as a last resort
Pros:

I was a bit confused by the state of the room. The walls and ceiling all were freshly painted and looked great.
The carpet in the room had obvious water damage, possibly more than once. Gum and cigarette burns on carpet too.
Bed skirt was torn, sheets had stains and black "stuff" (never could determine if it was lint or ??)
No breakfast or coffee in the lobby -
On the positive side- the staff was helpful when we called them- they were never at the front desk.

Pros:

The garbage outside hotel was not changed and the garbage inside our room was not take out during our stay. The room had an odor to it of wet animal. We had no on the go breakfast available to us. We had two towels for two people our whole stay. The tv did not work. We were unable to find an employee to get toilet paper and could not locate any in the open storage room had to purchase our own. This hotel was under new supervision and seemed to not have enough staff at the time to handle the people staying there or keep up with the maintenance of the building.

Pros:

No one at the front and had to wait quite awhile for check in. Were told we would be getting towels and they were in the dryer. Upon entering the room, it smelled musty and wet. Floor dirty and had not been vaccuumed and stained. No tv remote. One bed was clean and one bed was dirty with stained sheets. No pillow cases. 45 minutes later, still no towels.The bathroom was clean but we had no hot water in the shower. No breakfast.The rest of the stay, never saw a worker and the window gate was down for 4 days. We talked to other guests staying and they were having the same problems. If you needed something, you had to find it on your own. We looked in the other unoccupied rooms since their door latch was open. All dirty. The neighbor said they entered their room and there was vomit all over the floor when they arrived to their room and made the person in charge clean it. Friends showed up a few nights later and had to wait over an hour before contact was made via phone calls and we’re still waiting 2 hours later before they decided to leave and find elsewhere. This place was absolutely disgusting and should not be in business. I am sure you will be seeing more reviews from other people since they were more than unhappy with their experience during their stay as well. The town had a rally going on for 4 days. This hotel could have brought in quite a bit of revenue if it wasn’t such a crap hole that has people living in it. Safety issues all over.
