Will NEVER STAY THERE AGAIN! The room really needs to be upgraded as the bathroom had paint chipping, bathtub rusty, showerhead rusty, bathroom door would not close. Air conditioner frame falling apart, TV remote didn't work, got another and it didn't work either. They never really cleaned up after the snow storm which made it dangerous for the customers. There is a lot to say about taking PRIDE in your buisness.

Room was nice but needs a little extra cleaning, especially the bathroom and room was cold but after a day it finally warmed up and room just needed an iron and hair dryer in it. But other than that it was a good hotel.

Disliked: Amenities
Well the room was very big, what i liked was the room had 3 rooms one was the bedroom, the other was a livingroom/kitchen and of course the bathroom. The kitchen had a warped shelf the microwave with a broken handle was sitting on, the livingroom had just couches and a desk no separate TV but very spacious. There was no iron or ironing board like most rooms have. Additionally there were holes in the walls and lights that were out as in the bulbs were not there or were broken, poorly fixed wall damage in the room, no hangers for clothes, and no continental breakfast (which if you look online it says the hotel provides it). We only stayed one night so it was perfectly fine, we just needed a place to sleep before driving back to our state. But if i had to stay longer i would stay elsewhere. The staff were friendly and accommodating, the parking lot could have been plowed a bit better for safer parking. And there were holes in ceilings and walls in the hallways that i had noticed. But like i said above if you just need a place to sleep for a cheap rate this location would be ideal. And the rooms are very spacious, a bit outdated but for what we needed it for, the room was fine.

The room did not reflect the pictures so when we got there the room wasn't very nice holes in the wall, crappy paint job, the stove didn't work, the place was messy and in the bathroom there was mold all around the world pool tub. The place just looked beat up and run down and there is no coffee or breakfast. The parking lot was extremely dangerous because of the snow there was no pass shoveled to the doors parking lots were a mess with a lot of snow! The outside doors did not lock so anybody could just come in the building as they wanted to and there was an overall sense of not being safe! We will not return to that hotel ever.
