Very kind and helpful check in person.. Room is simple but clean and bright. Really appreciate the trend toward hard floors instead of carpeting that they have embraced.

They need to have some comfortable beds and clean rooms. I did not expect to see dead roaches in the bathroom. I booked a room through Expedia because somehow, they were getting higher reviews. Better reviews mean great quality of experience all around.

Very friendly front desk clerk working night shift.He moved me to a first floor room which I forgot to ask for during the reservation. Rooms are very dated and not super clean but for a place to just shower and sleep it was a get what you pay for place for sure, looks nothing like the photos shown online .

The staff was really nice but the rooms were dirty. Black mold is growing around the tubs. The shower curtain was disgustingly dirty. I didn’t shower. The walls are very dirty. It needs a major cleaning and painting. Thank goodness there wasn’t carpet. Also, there were no light bulbs in the lamps. Not a great stay, but again, staff was nice.

Yikes

You get what you pay for. Spent one night for a ball tournament. The nice man at the desk was helpful and personable. First impression of the property alone was not great but hey, there's a waffle house attached to it. We don't plan on eating the free breakfast here. Our room and I assume it's probably every room smelled musty or of old smoke. Whatever that unwelcoming stank is. Glad I brought a space fan, room spray, and turned on the air conditioner while we were at the ball field day 1. It smelled a bit better when we got back. This place needs a serious deep clean. Bathroom door had months of nasty splatters on it. GROSS! Everything is just very old. Hot water to wash my face but would never drink it. None of us would consider taking a shower and I had to clean the toilet seat. Beds are ancient and not soft. Sheets were clean I guess. There's good bright lights on the parking lot so that's a positive but made me think what kind of crazy is going on here to invest in that expense instead of upkeep. Single mom traveling with two young boys and extremely grateful it was quiet because we were very worried but we stuck it out for one night. We stayed at the front of the property but I imagine other rooms towards the back could get rowdy. Bottom line, pay double if you can afford a better hotel. But if you can't, we did it and so can you if you need to. Personally, wouldn't stay again. The bar for an economy stay is low so your expectations should be too. Good luck.

Terrible

The place was built a 100 yrs ago and has never been updated. There breakfast bar consisted of a waffle or a bowl of cereal with a gal of milk in a small fridge. If you were lucky they may have had some coffee. The only good thang was the ac unit in the room. All outside drink machines and ice machines did not work. I will not waste money on this dump next time. Sorry for the bad review but it was just horrible.
