Very simple room but didn’t expect much for how cheap it was. Staff was very friendly. Located close to shopping and lots of restaurants. Only needed a cheap place to stay for the night and this was just that.

Basic motel with solid amenities. Room was very clean. The AC didn't work well, so it was quite warm most of the night. Beds were comfortable and it was an easy check in and out process. Would recommend it for a quick night stay.

Decent but run down clean independently run inn
This is a low budget independently run hotel, they still offer smoking rooms tho, and allow pets. A lot of the rooms are run down, with dead bolts that won't latch or broken bathroom vent fans, but I've used it a few times and never seen a bed bug and the staff is friendly enough, just don't expect ANY extra. Also go online you can get the same room they want 80 a night for going for 55 to 65.

Wasn’t expecting drive thru check-in and exterior motel-style arrangement. Met our basic needs for comfortable bed and hot shower. Small frig and microwave was pleasant surprise. Thank you.

I liked the fact that you can check in like a drive thru and that the hotel was around several restaurants and stores. The hotel needs a serious upgrade! The furniture was old and had finger nail polish on it. Someone wrote on the walls. The side panels were coming off and there was hair on the towels and shower curtain. The shower curtain was also very dirty. People were barbecuing at midnight in front of the hotel. I would say never again!

The truth, the whole truth & nothing but the truth
first impressions questionable location, slow service at check in, without a smile or welcome at the corner counter in the side reception room, key card in hand and minimal directions as to location of our room, we walked around the building to find a second floor room, skunk smell in the stairwell, and visible drug use left on the ground, on entering our room we're met with a damp cold smell, the room appeared clean, but on careful inspection we were met with other guests in the room, After a nine hour drive to Ohio, we were tired and just wanted to sleep, we cleared the ohio bugs and pulled back the sheets and were again dissapointed to see and feel the sheets were not fresh or clean, we adapted and made good a bad situation, stayed here for two nights got out very quickly and would not be going back, if you have to stay in this area be careful stay in after dark, better still don't stay in this hotel, sorry for the people that have to work here, but if you can't give a welcoming smile, a hello, or a good evening how is your day going, your in the wrong business

The property is currently being renovated. Many of the rooms are not ready. Due to a huge music festival in the city, many rooms that weren't ready were made available.

The AC unit in the room was not functional. There were many stains on the bed, along with burn holes in the sheets. Also, there was a bag over the smoke detector, I'm assuming the previous guest tried to make it a smoking room. There was also a fellow on crazy drugs hanging out in the right outside our room, being very loud until 5am. We promptly decided to leave around 530am. Normally don't mind staying in sketchy places, but the sketch level of this place was astronomical.
Best Regards,

Let’s be honest it is a two star hotel at best. Our room had the basics amenities with a fridge and microwave. Overall cleanliness wasn’t great. However, during a concert weekend with hotels starting at around $500-600 a night. I will glad take my two star hotel room for $68 a night. Because with a can of disinfectant, bleach wipes, and some fresh sheets from Walmart. It was the best 4 night stay. They definitely are trying though as some rooms were vacant and being renovated. Staff was friendly on check in. Really didn’t require much during the stay. Parking was free and easy access every night. AC/heating unit looked old but worked like a dream with the bipolar weather. Water pressure for hot/cold water in shower was amazing.

Pulled up to check in after being at an outdoor event all day and was told my room was not available because they were overbooked. They said this happens a lot through Expedia. I would like my money back please and thank you. I had to make the almost 2 hour drive home for the four day event instead of having a place to stay only 16 mins away. I will be expecting a full refund, thank you.

I checked in and checked out...this hotel shouldn't be in service. I didn't stay there. There were roaches in the bathtub...After the staff told me they had no bugs. No running water out of the sink faucet. One pillow for two beds. No cover on bathroom vents. Towels looked used. I then called to front desk and they advised that...this is what it is or I can call hotels.com and get my money back. I left hotel and checked into the Holiday Inn close by. I'm still fighting for my refund from Hotels.com. I now don't trust hotels.com because they have places like this on there website.
