Passing this one
No smoke detector in the room. There were bare wires in two locations in the room. The floor was not clean. Sausage and eggs served every day there could’ve been some homemade fries or bacon added for a little diversity.

TRASHY
The hotel is trashy. Turned the heat on and smoke alarm went off, water didnt get hot just luke warm, people running above our room all night, people with blunts in their mouth walking through the hotel lobby, groups of people behind the hotel randomly. Tv didnt work. Very noisy. Smells like straight weed.

Disappointing hotel stay
They were renovating the hotel which really needed it. But we were put in a room that was half competed. It looked pretty at first but it wasn’t cleaned properly from the last occupant. The new floors were already dirty looking. The toilet hadn’t changed to a new one and the tub was rusty around the edges.

You get what you pay for
You absolutely get what you pay for. We paid $100 for two queen size beds. Bathroom was absolutely dated/unkept and dirty. Furniture in main area was dirty and surfaces were not properly cleaned.
