Average stay and close to MSU
The location itself was ok...close to restaurants. And abut 5 minutes to Missouri State Univ. The entire hotel needs upgrading. It was a fine for we needed. Only stay for short durations.

This hotel was ok but not very clean. The shower had soap left from the precious occupants. The headboard had something running down it and dried. At least the sheets looked clean. The carpet made my feet feel dirty if I stepped on it barefoot. The room was old and run down, but I don't mind that if its at least clean. Price was just ok for the condition of the room.

Cheap place to stay.
It just wasn't a very clean nice place now the people that work there were very friendly and tried their best to be helpful they just seem to be out of clean towels blankets and things like that. The carpet was old and stained and definitely needed a good shampooing and vacuuming. The whole place had a bit of a musty smell to it.

No real bathroom door. It has a slide door that doesn't close properly or lock. It's pretty easy to hear every door in the place when they close.

You get what you pay for
Hotel staff was very friendly and helpful. Hotel itself was dated and the a/c unit was mangled but it worked. Definitely a no frills hotel. Very close to hospital so everytime an ambulance went through you heard it. Also on a very busy intersection. If you want a quiet hotel this is not for you.

Awful
This place was a joke. First they gave me a key to someone else’s room and I walked in on them in bed. Then I went down to get another room and key. Got up to my room and in walks some stranger. They gave someone else the same room as me. Once that got all figured out, the rooms were nasty. Pubes in the bath tub and everything. Do not stay here!

First of all the pictures online are cat fish
2nd of all the receptionist when i checked in, gave me a freaking irritated look, like girl what did i do to you. Got in our room, carpet was dirty, hairs in the bathroom, towels has lots of stains, lamp doesnt work, windows and walls are very dusty and you can see spider webs. The worst part was a COCKROACH was crawling on me in the morning and that was the reason i was screaming and woke up yesterday. If i can rate this place -0 i would! this is the nastiest/dirtiest hotel ive ever been! Paid 77 dollars a night and it wasnt even worth it, WILL NEVER COME BACK AND PLEASE LOOK FOR OTHER HOTELS

Sadly disappointed!!!!
The staff was friendly. Room was old and could have used remodeling. The room had everything we needed, but the smoke detector was missing. The carpet felt like it was matted down with dirt. The next morning after a storm went thru we understood maybe why. My husband got out of bed to be standing in water between the outside wall and his side of the bed. Was there just one night wish we had booked somewhere else. Probably ok for a quick trip and a room above the first floor.
