The entire place smelled pretty awful. The front desk was nice and the bed was super comfortable. Bugs in the bathroom weren't particularly expected and didn't really want to scatter!

The reason this isn’t a one star review is because the bed was actually comfortable. Other than that, this place is a dump. It was parents weekend at my daughter’s college so this was really the only place that had any openings. If given the choice, I would not stay here again.

The room was clean. The whole place could use some updates, for example the carpeting could have been cleaned or replaced. Curtains had cuts in them and the comforter had a burn hole but we were in a non-smoking room.

It was a little nicer than expected (especially since the carpeting was replaced with a vinyl wood floor). It was clean, but various things were broken. The bathroom door didn’t close or lock. The bathroom fan wasn’t working. The remote needed batteries. The front desk staff were helpful.

The building is ancient and badly needs an update. The jet tub was perfect. Thank goodness for that since that’s what I wanted but the rest was very mediocre and dirty. Thank goodness for mattress covers too. Not a place to stay if you will be mostly in your room which I was not.
