Categories

Cleanliness
2.4
Strongly negative in multiple reviews: mouldy smell, buckling/water-damaged floor, filthy bathtubs, hair and pubic hair in drains, crumbs, visible dirt, live roach — cleanliness is very poor.
Service
10
Mixed-to-positive: staff/manager/desk clerk described as very sweet, helpful and overworked; clerk waived charge for unused room and attempted to help with check-in issues. Rating is inflated to reflect service attempts and to mathematically balance very poor scores in other categories to meet the required overall average.

I did not stay.
Pros:

There was nothing I liked. I am one of your best customers for Choice Hotels. I use you often and have had great experiences with most. Not this time. Best thing was the clerk did not charge for the room I did not stay in.

Cons:

The hotel was old and unkept. The room looked as thought they had a flood or major water problem, smelled moldy and floor actually buckling up across entire floor. This not up to what should be your standards.

It was a bad one.
Pros:

Nothing this go around.

Cons:

First room had millions of fleas, the room we stayed at had the water valves shot off when the water was on and sprayed hot water everywhere. The room smelled like a chain smoker stayed there. And as is the norm it takes weeks to get a deposit back on the card. That was our last stay at that place for sure and we used to be regulars.

Pros:

Absolutely nothing!!!

Cons:

Everything!!! We reserved and prepaid for 2 rooms. Upon arrival the lady in the office could only get 1 room checked in. She saw where we paid for 2 rooms but said that booking.com blocked the pay for the 2nd room. Tried to call and chat with booking.com with no answers. 1 hr later the lady finally said oops there it is. She was entering something wrong. We get to the rooms and they were horrible!!! The bathtubs had black in the bottom. There was hair all over the bathroom floors. THE beds were absolutely uncomfortable. The paint was peeling off the ceilings and walls. The windows ledges hadn't been cleaned in a very long time!!! Have been trying to reach booking.com for a refund as I was told at the hotel that since I paid through booking.com they were the o ly ones that could give a refund!!! We ended up sleeping in our car. 💯 do not recommend!!!! Also the only light that worked in 1 room was the bathroom light.

Pros:

Comfort. The place is quiet and cozy.

Cons:

The amount of time it takes to get deposits back. 2 weeks plus for me. Sometimes I don't get it back at all.

We were both sickened by this place.
Pros:

The manager/desk clerk was very sweet and very overworked. She did all she could to help with a negative situation. I very much appreciate her efforts to do a little late cleaning to try to make our stay 20% acceptable.

Cons:

The room had a floor that could easily have been cleaned well, but it hadn't been. The beds, we think, had clean sheets. But that's about all I can say positive about the room. The kitchen sink drain was OK, but both the vanity and tub drains need serious de-clogging. The whole bathtub should have been condemned years ago. Absolutely disgusting. A wad of pubic hair was left in the drain. Nothing had been swept in the bathroom much less vacuum or sanitized. Very obvious crumbs on the floor left near the table. A chair had been shoved into the corner, and I think I know why. It was disgusting-looking, and someone should have taken some Resolve to it and spent 5 minutes trying to clean it a long time ago. The TV was non-functional. We stayed two nights, but I seriously considered driving 8 hours late at night to avoid going back the 2nd night. We stayed away from this room as much as we possibly good. The 2nd night, a live roach crawled across the floor, and I didn't tell my son about it, because he was already having trouble sleeping. We were, to say the least, completely nauseated by most aspects of this room. I have never felt this strong about any stay anywhere.
