We had to enter next to the sketchy casino in the hotel. I did not feel safe entering or exiting at night through that door. The key scan in didnt work on the door by the casino bathroom. Room was stuck in the 1980s. The bath tub with chipping and the ceiling was crumbling.

The hallways smelled like sewer. The beds were uncomfortable- one of the beds had a huge dip in it almost to the point that when you laid down, you hit the base of the bed. The pool area is tile and super slick when wet- the hot tub had mold around the top where the tile didn’t meet up with the hot tub. The jets in the hot tub didn’t work.

Didn’t like anything about this place. The hot breakfast was cold. They didn’t seem to care when we told them. The hot tub didn’t work. The pool was filthy. Dogs barking all night. People fighting outside for hrs late at night. Will never stay here again. Worst hotel I have ever stayed at

Only needed for a place to sleep before an early morning medical appointment. Price was very reasonable. Rooms could use a bit of painting, but nothing terrible. Pool area looked nice, but we did not use. Was attached to a bar/pizza restaurant that we did not visit. Found it odd that the breakfast area was just some warmers set out with food, completely unattended, and that there were absolutely no drinks. No coffee, juice, milk, anything at all. We did find a small coffeepot in the lobby, but not everyone drinks coffee. Thought that was strange.

It was good for a one night stay. Room was clean-ish and didn’t smell of old cigarette smoke. Bathroom tub could have been cleaned a little better. Breakfast was cold and lacking drinks but good.

Affordable but not fancy.
Hotel lobby area was clean and neat. Could definitely tell from hallway and stairwell that it was an older building. Handrails were missing and carpet torn on stairs. Advertised with casino but the main one was closed and the small one they lead us to appeared kind of sketchy.

Every section of the hotel smelled differently, not in a good way. Beds were small and uncomfortable. Hard to believe in today’s world hotels still don’t have queen size beds. It was ok there clean enough inside but outside looking really dated. I would stay there but my wife would not.
