Everything was great I like the location and the service

Good Value.

It's setup for affordable long stays ( no breakfast), but it's fine. A biit worn, but real clean... so fine for the price. I stayed for 1 night and it was good.

Disappointed

Place was clean & updated. Arrived about 10 & front door was locked. Posted listed kitchenette, but it only had a toaster. Had planned to cook eggs, but no pan & stove didn't turn on. Disappointing as I didn't realize you would have to bring everything. Pointless when traveling. Room was very large, beds comfortable & nice hot shower.

8/10 Very good

I am a tea drinker; they had only coffee in the room. It isn't a deal breaker, but it would be nice.

Suite was clean and spacious. Great size for a family group of 4-5 adults. But need to bring your own utensils.

Affordable for snocross event

Good stay. Was a good time. Easy access to event and restaurants. All in all. If your looking for a place to sleep, while your at a event all day. Great affordable place.

Family Gathering

The room was nice. Although it's a suite, if you want to cook anything, you need to bring your own pans, utensils, plates, etc. Everything worked well. The front desk person was very helpful, even helping me find a restaurant that some friends had recommended. We would stay there again. There is no breakfast, but McDonald's is walking distance. Nice size refrigerator with a freezer.

Smelt old like mold, ran down
2-night trip

2/10 Poor

I’m trying to call the number that is listed on Expedia for the property. It is not accurate after being on hold for eight minutes it disconnects you at arriving at the property. The manager tells me that the proper number is on the card at the desk. I tell him that does mean no good when I live three hours away and cannot contact the property. The property is in desperate need of repair. We had other guests in other rooms. They did not even have a hairdryer so they had to dry their hair over the air conditioner in their room the counters in our room or very old stained and had horrible marks on them. The couch in our room had stains, tears, and paint on them. The coffee table if you want to call it that I think a five year-old could’ve put it together better and I don’t know that I would’ve even set a cup on it. The towels in the bathroom looks like they came from the dollar store. They did not match. We’re very thin and very small. The hallways smelled musty and old. I saw housekeeping’s mop bucket, and it look like the color of coffee and not the nice latte like espresso, black coffee, and she was continuing to floors in the room with it. The manager on properly, he is very rude. There is no staff at night so if your key does not work or you lose it, go sleep in your car. I had tried to call the number on the business card for the hotel in the middle of the night as there were people sleeping outside on the sidewalkand there was no answer and the front desk is locked up.

Poor Service

The hotel sucked as services went. Internet didn’t work nor did the tv with NO local stations
David, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Obviously, the front entrance area appears to be going through a remodel phase. There was no one at the counter, we were lucky to get our keys the first night. After 10 PM; the counter area has a garage door style roll down door that stays down. We left this morning at 8 am and it was still down.

2/10 Poor

Covid at event my wife was at prevented us from using reservation and we were advised we could not cancel without 48 hours notice so we did not even attempt. Later received message we could have contacted hotel directly to discuss?

Strong Pot Smell shabby room

We arrived very late - 2am. I called on the phone and the staff let us in. First impression was BAD. Lobby was dirty and the entire floor smelled like pot and a very strong perfume that maybe was used to try to cover up the pot smell. Also, 3 police cars were in the parking lot when I arrived. The room appeared clean but bathroom door and paint were worn & rusty. The smoke detector was covered with what looked like dried wet paper towels or something . I'm not sure if that meets fire code. I'm assuming it was that way because of the pot smoking but it was a no smoking room. I was kind of grossed out by the initial problems- police, terrible smell, dirt, rust & broken bathroom door, that I never really felt comfortable. But we didn't have any other issues with our stay.

The smell was awful

Upon entering our room, there is a strong unpleasant smell. The smell seem to be coming from the couch, I’m sure somebody urinated on it. The tile and the door trim in the bathroom needed paint and repair. As we were packing to leave, I noticed that there was a dead bug on the sheets. There were also ants crawling on our belongings. I immediately laundered all of our clothes and disinfected our bags when we got home. I wasn’t really comfortable with the group of men drinking beer right outside our window either
