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!

Property location is good and staff are very friendly. But utilities is poor and also guests are so so
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.
I love the front desk staff, both of the young ladies and gentlemen, always welcoming and polite.

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.
Very nice staff, room, clean and spotless. Bathrooms outdated.

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.
For an overnight, it was just fine. frig, microwave, separate room from bedroom. large bathroom. Perfect. Looks like they are improving the outside and interior. Courtesy was fine. Parking was ample
The service was really good, however, the rooms were very smelly, not cleaned, sticky floors and tables, roaches in bathroom, cigarettes burns in sheets. Would not recommend.
