There were holes the size of fists in the bathroom door. The floor was damaged. The fella at the front desk was cool. We had to pay a $150 deposit at the desk because we reserved via Expedia. The breakfast is decent- consists of: waffles, cereal and oatmeal, assorted breads, coffee, tea, orange/ apple juice, and milk. Oh and be careful here, no vaping in the rooms. I don’t smoke but it was still a shock…so heads up. Mayb next time we will b in a better looking room. Oh thankfully no bed bugs from what was inspected.

This is just a very plain hotel. A few walls have damage or marks and that seemed to look bad in my opinion. The room was clean. The scrambled eggs at breakfast were really bad. I paid $175 (room and tax) for a Saturday night in October. It was extremely overpriced. I had a much nicer room in Jackson, MO at the Drury the night before for $50 less.
