The heater in our room was very loud too hot so Dan turned it down then it got real cold. One of 2 washrags was pretty stained. The manager Teresa this morning was very nice and helpful. Kristina who checked us in was very nice also.

Facility was unmarked when entering, we had to guess which building reception was actually housed in. The parking lot was full of garbage and cigarette littered the ground near the front door. The lights in the parking lot were not lit at night. The front desk was unprofessional when we entered. She was wearing a sweatsuit and was incredibly disheveled. She took my ID for a scan but did not leave the photo copy in a secure spot safe from other people’s view. I had to stay and wait until she filed it away. Our keycard was also sitting on a desk when we entered raising questions about security. The hallways and main area smelt awful. It was a combination of cigarettes and animal dander. The carpet in the hallway was noticeably stained. Our room was satisfactory. The only noticeable issue was the amount of crumbs and other small objects on the floor, needed a vacuuming. The side door of the hotel closest to our room did not lock as intended creating another safety concern. Overall our experience was horrible and taught us not to trust Expedia reviews solely. We will more research off of the app in the future.

Property changed ownership between reservation and check in. Received no notification of this. New owner did not have our reservation. Reception area looked like previous owner tried to gut it before a foreclosure—looked like signs and/or cabinets torn from walls, etc. Reservation was for a 2-queen room—but discovered hotel has only full-size beds. Place is old and dingy. Very polite and helpful staff is only reason this doesn’t get one star.
