I was not aware that the place was under renovation when i booked my room. The carpet was nasty. If i hadn't been so tired, i would have made a request for another room, however i probably would have gotten the same or worse. I rarely give bad reviews, but this definitely needs to be addressed. Not happy with this stay!!!

an overpriced motel for what it was. The room had been redone- but the bathroom was still old and not redone. I could hear everything that was happening in the room next to me. I didn't feel especially safe in the area- as had booked without much knowledge of the area and was trying to find the most economical place to stay in town- which is very hard to find as the hotels are highly overpriced for what you get. Thankful it was only a one night stay

Check in process was smooth. The door to the room was not very responsive to either of the keycards that were given to me. It took a minute to get back in each time that I left the room. The room was clean. The “business center” was a single computer and a single printer. The computer was very slow and would not load the login page to Dropbox. As such, I could not print the documents that I needed to print. The continental breakfast included cereal but, curiously, no milk. The coffee had lots of large grounds at the bottom of the cup.

When we got to the hotel they could not find the reservation and said it has been canceled. After a while we got a smaller room. They could handle the situation ok.

Highly over priced for the area and condition of the rooms. Dints dings and scratches all over. Peeling paint, mold, stained carpet and furniture. Lumpy beds, weak water pressure. And all of this can be yours for a mere 200 dollars a night.
