Avoid like the Plague, you might catch the plague
This was ABSOLUTELY the most disgusting hotel my wife and I have ever stayed at. So much so, that we booked a room the very next day at a Holiday Inn Express a couple miles away.
The room had gum on the wall right next to the crooked mounted TV. There were huge stains on the curtains, the leisure chair had some kind of disgusting debri under the cushion, and the updating/painting you would do to a room for normal wear and tear was done by someone with zero carpentry skills. But, the ABSOLUTE WORST thing was the refrigerator. It was frosted over at the top with what looked like black mold and some kind of growth. I brought this to the attention of the kid on duty late night and he offered another room which wasn't much better. He suggested I speak to the manager the following morning. I did, after I already secured a room at a different Hotel. The manger refunded half of my two day booking, but in hindsight, I think the whole booking should have been refunded. I am going to be looking into that.

Family trip.
We had a quick family trip. Stayed two nights. The room spelled like mold. Couldn’t find where the smell was coming from. Finally I saw it was on a lamp shade. The bed was hard and the pillows were lumpy. The lobby was very clean. The elevator not so clean. Overall wont be staying here again.

Bad experience, house keeping came to clean the room and left the door open all day, anyone can walk into the room, didn’t feel safe afterwards. Elevator not working, phone on my room wasn’t connected to report the issue, spoke to the Manager and he try to resolve the situation, offered 10% back, and re-training his crew.

There was a notice in the lobby to say that the fire sprinklers were not operable and I noticed the elevator inspection was eight months expired. Aside from the safety concerns the hotel was very unclean. It was just a depressing place to be.

Good service but rundown overwll
The folks who work here are very nice. Our initial room smelled very strongly like cigarettes and they quickly moved us to a suite. The mattresses don’t have liners and just have a fitted sheet on top, making it easy to see stains on them. The curtains had mysterious stains (soda probably) and in general it all looks a little old. The floors were clean, the counters were as well, but it is generally just a little run down looking. Breakfast isn’t much either. Again though, the folks who work here were super helpful and friendly.
