Room was horrible. Roaches and spiders in the room. The capert was dirty and sticky. There was no free full continental breakfast. When asked the day staff at desk he told me they only have to provide coffee and one item. The building was falling apart

Never again.
Pros:

The view from the balcony.

Cons:

The room was not clean, crumbs in the draw, food under cushion in the chair witch was one color and cushion another, use tissue in desk drawer, paint was peeling off the walls in the bathroom, no exhaust fan in the bathroom had to leave the door open or you couldn’t breath taking a shower, room was cold even with heat on at 70. King size bed with only 2 pillows, stains on comforter and shower curtain. No coffee pot or coffee in room. Dust on head board that you could write your name in it. Ladybug crawling up the wall. Carpet and curtains were still from the 1960’s.

Friendly but not clean
Pros:

Unfortunately this hotel was not clean. There was hair in the bathroom sink, the sheets were not clean, and the overall condition of the room was poor. The door did not latch properly without considerable effort.

Pros:

Old taco bell under the bed with food still inside. Beer bottle caps and trash under the dressers.couch had animal bite marks and torn fabric down the side. No coffee maker like listed in the photo. Only 1 room key was available they didnt have enough keys to give 2. Curtains had tears so they had to be moved for proper privacy and there was an active wasp nest 6+ in the stairway to our room. Breakfast was subpar toast with no butter or jelly coffee with no creamer and no lids.

Pros:

I'm sure this place was nice in it's prime, the location is beautiful, but the property is worn down now and needs a remodel, everything was done in the cheapest way possible from the 2-ply toilet paper, to the pipes squeaking the whole time the water came out in the shower, to the TVs only having a few channels with extreme static, to advertizing free breakfast only to go down there and there was none. Nor was there an attendant at the desk to ask about it. It was fine to crash for a night, but def should be in the price range of a motel 6 or super 8 bc the quality just wasnt there. Granted, we only paid $109 but it was more of a $50-60 experience.

Pros:

If the owner doesn’t want to keep the property, better to get rid of it.

Rooms: noisy, no shampoo/conditioner and not too clean too.

There was hardly any breakfast though it was claimed that way. Coffee with no sugar and cream and some other frozen items. There was not a single staff either in the dining area nor the front desk.
