The staff is very polite and helped whenever needed. The room was clean, but old there was a comfortable stay.
Cons:

I didn’t like that. It didn’t have an elevator due to having a individual who has a hard time walking up and down the stairs. It was fair and cleanliness, but not the cleanest one I’ve ever been to.

Pros:

Absolutely nothing!

Cons:

It was dirty and outdated, especially for what they charged! The front desk staff was rude. I cancelled my reservation after looking around and mostly because the staff person took a photocopy of my credit card! No one has EVER done this and it made me very suspicious. And they still charged me $271 for the room I didn’t even stay in! The manager refused to give me a refund. I would NOT recommend this hotel!

Perfect spot!
Pros:

This hotel was in the perfect location! There was a Walmart, a Dunkin’ Donuts, and a Home Depot literally for all of our needs. The hotel was very clean and yes it’s a little outdated, but the cleanliness erases that. They had a lot of options for their grab and go breakfast. They also allowed dogs there. I would definitely stay again.

Overall Quite a good stay ;)
Pros:

Everything was very clean and comfortable. I am disabled and could not easily get around as there was no elevator and our room was on the second floor. All in all however it was a fine stay. Thank you!

Cons:

No elevator. And the one- way street.

Don't do it
Pros:

The front desk staff person was very kind and efficient.

Cons:

This was honestly my worst hotel experience ever. It smelled like gross feet in the room. I ended up completely stuffed up and allergic for the next 3 days. I stayed one night and truly should have just left. It was awful and I can't imagine how it get's any stars over a 1.
