The noise from the outside was unbearable. I was up most of the night. This is not my first stay at this hotel. I have been there many times and the other visits went well.

Works For A Quick Stay
We had stayed here the year prior for the fair and had a really pleasant experience. This tine was a little different. We had attempted to cancel a spare room and while it was non-refundable, the back and forth with the hotel was needlessly aggressive on their end when I asked even if we could do a 50% refund (thankfully, things worked out and we ended up taking the room). Once in the room, there were a few things we noticed. A greasy hand print on the headboard of my friend’s bed (she found it during a routine bedbug check), the vent cover above the shower was missing, and the sheets had some minor stains. That I can work with because white sheets inevitably show everything. The next morning, when I went to shower, I noticed a hair, red and curly, still stuck to the shower wall (neither of us have red curly hair). Breakfast was okay, just crowded as the lobby isn’t very large. Personally, this experience left a a bitter taste in our mouths so we’ll be going elsewhere in the future. With that said, I’d recommend this place if you’re on a strict budget and for a quick overnight stay. It is close to downtown with lots of restaurants and is a short drive to the fairgrounds if that’s your main attraction. See photos below

The property is in a poor state of repair, the safe in our room was broken and when the staff couldn’t figure out how to fix it they advised us to just “lock our hotel room door” and it would be fine. The property is in an unsafe area, so this felt like a concern, particularly for keeping our passports safe.

The room was spotless when I checked in, very clean and well stocked with toiletries, towels, etc. When I checked out, the girl who was at the front desk was very helpful and, as far as I'm concerned, went above and beyond in assisting me with a matter that I needed help in.

When me and my wife walked into the lobby, there was a bug zapper setup going off every few seconds. The lobby smelled like cigarette smoke they tried to mask with air fresheners. The room had mosquito stains on the wall along with a couple still stuck to the wall. In short, the motel is in need of a complete renovation. I also noticed the photos on the hotels.com website completely hid the fact that this was a motel and not a hotel.

When I arrived the hotel entrance was locked and there was no one at the reception. Waited 15min when receptionist finally returned. His explanation was he was helping a customer who was locked out of his room. Ok, but that is not an excuse. Hotel understaffed
