2/10 Poor
Apr 5, 2025
Terribly disgusting. Not for families.
The room was missing things. The walls were horrible. The floors were disgusting. Everything was in terrible shape. Black mold in the room stained curtains no safety locks to inside hotel or in the room with young children. Fridge was taped up, 2 towels only. Totally not acceptable for adults less long children. Will never go back. Patronage in the hotel and outside was very sketchy also.

STAY AWAY!!!!

Always like to stay here when visiting my daughter's family. Staff is friendly though some more helpful than others. Facilities are old and could benefit from update but it's always clean. Would have preferred not risking a fall in the parking lot due to the ice that wasn't cleared away from the recent storms. Dreading packing my car for the same reason when I check out since another one storm came through (the reason I stayed) and nothing was plowed or cleared.

I stay in cheap hotels that are still clean and decent. This one was horrible!! Room smelt of smoke, sink appeared not clean, bathroom floor where the door is was disgusting. Put my leg on the edge of the bed to get in and it hurt.
The only good thing- there was no carpet!

Do Not Recommend
Quite possibly the dirtiest hotel I’ve ever stayed in. The room didn’t have towels and when the towels were delivered there was one blood stained. We had an adjoining room and our room didn’t actually have a door, the adjoining could have just walked into our room, 109. The only positive was the front desk was more than accommodating and very friendly.

It wasnt very clean, outdated, scary neighborhood. It appeared that people lived at the hotel. Very small TV with very fuzzy picture. Not a very nice place to stay. We didnt feel safe.
