Pros:

This is an old downtown hotel which is neat area. I like looking at downtown’s in every city I go. The hotel doesn’t seem too busy but works for my event. I might have been the only person there this time. The room was clean but other areas not so much. Have bought light bulbs before because there was only 1 wimpy one in the room.

Pros:

Basically used for shower while dry camping at a local music festival. My friend used it for the WiFi to work a couple hours. He said the WiFi connection was very good.

Pros:

First impression is that the "hotel" is run down and abandoned. Hotel advertises a bar on site, the bar was shut down with no one around. Had to call two phone numbers provided at the reception desk before someone picked up and told me they were coming down. When the clerk showed up he said "I only have one room for one person" despite the fact that online my reservation was clearly advertised to be for two people; and both my husband and I were in front of him. He kept insisting to "go have a look", and kept repeating " I have one room". No mention of upgrading to a different room was also made in person, while there seemed to be options online. The whole situation seemed very sketchy, and the "hotel" seemed very unsafe. When I asked for a refund as I had pre-paid, he said : " I wouldn't charge you" and turned around and ran inside the elevator even though my husband and I were still talking to him. I had to call Expedia and get a refund through them. The most unprofessional and rude interaction I've had in my life.

Pros:

No soap provided in the bathroom. Shredded bathmat. Broken ceramic shelf in shower with jagged edges. Hole in comforter. Beetle bug found on bed. Blood stain found on side of mattress. 1 working light in bathroom (out of 5 light fixtures). Smoke alarm bracket on ceiling, no alarm. Garbage bags sitting behind a pillar in lobby area. (Have pictures of all, sans bloodstain.) Canceled second night of stay.

Go to Skyline Motel down the street.
Pros:

Location is nice and the hotel itself has loads of potential unfortunately whoever is running doesn't give a hoot and it's apparent.

Cons:

It was absolutely filthy. Everything had a layer of dust over it. The carpeting was stinky and probably older than me. The towels all had holes and looked more like old washer rags. Rooms had no overhead light fixture. The shower had someone else's hair on the walls. These people don't even try to make this place worth the price they charge you. I live in Pittsburgh, but I'm from this area originally and I could get a decent hotel room where I live now that is actually CLEAN for what I paid for this dump. We left after one night because of the filthy condition of the room and bathroom. The guy who runs the desk, was supposed to give me a refund for the second night and he offered to do both nights which I didn't even expect, but he has never answered Booking.com in the last two months they tried to reach him. He also hasn't answered when I call directly. Don't stay here. I paid for a night I didn't even stay. Place is disgusting. Fabulouso and a bucket of hot water would go a long way and wouldn't cost that much! Please use my money that you kept to invest in cleaning supplies and clean the hotel!
