The room I booked was full. They offered a room with disgusting dirty stained carpet. The next hadn’t been cleaned so I helped clean it. The manager said she could fix the broken shower knob she couldn’t so I had to shower in a different room. Most amenities weren’t working. The TV in my room didn’t really work. The manager said she would bring a different cable box she didn’t. The fitted sheet on BOTH beds had big orange and black stains I wondered if they were even washed. I left my room to shower and realized my key didn’t work so I couldn’t get in. I informed a staff member that I needed help gettin back in. I finished showering and all the staff was gone. I repeatedly called the front desk no one answered. I had to walk across the parking lot to the front desk in pajamas, wet towel on my head in my slippers in temps below zero for a key. I told the owner I was extremely unsatisfied and wanted a full refund. He said yes. I got the refund receipt and the amount wasn’t even close to what I paid. I booked through Expedia and the room rate they listed was different than the hotels receipt. After hours and hours of back and forth calling neither business will take accountability. They both blame the other. After the continuous issues at the hotel I wonder if they intentionally lowered my bill before issuing the refund so it appeared I paid less or if Expedia’s customer service is really that bad. It was the worst experience I’ve ever had with a hotel!! Don’t recommend!

I did not stay there. The guy in front of me in line had been waiting for over an hour. He said that they had checked him into a room, and when he entered the room someone else was already checked in. My friend and I did not feel safe so we found a different hotel to stay at.

We payed extra for a king size bed and they gave us a room with one double bed only. Told us they didn’t have any other rooms available but also didn’t offer a cheaper rate for the room. Also TV didn’t work, which we didn’t need but the next guests might want to use.

Booked this hotel just a place stay 1 night on a road trip. The first room we were assigned had no working heat, and was filthy. Complained to the management and it took an hour and half for them to move me into the next room. This second room was trashed - tv face down, unmade bed, and still no working heat. The third room, and apparnet last available in the hotel, I can assume that is because the others were in a similar state to the previous rooms I saw, had working heat, but no fridge and crumbs in one of the two beds. There was also toe nail clippings stuck in the carpet. You get what you pay for I guess, but it still felt like too much for this dump and trouble to find a habitable heated room.

Facility was unmarked when entering, we had to guess which building reception was actually housed in. The parking lot was full of garbage and cigarette littered the ground near the front door. The lights in the parking lot were not lit at night. The front desk was unprofessional when we entered. She was wearing a sweatsuit and was incredibly disheveled. She took my ID for a scan but did not leave the photo copy in a secure spot safe from other people’s view. I had to stay and wait until she filed it away. Our keycard was also sitting on a desk when we entered raising questions about security. The hallways and main area smelt awful. It was a combination of cigarettes and animal dander. The carpet in the hallway was noticeably stained. Our room was satisfactory. The only noticeable issue was the amount of crumbs and other small objects on the floor, needed a vacuuming. The side door of the hotel closest to our room did not lock as intended creating another safety concern. Overall our experience was horrible and taught us not to trust Expedia reviews solely. We will more research off of the app in the future.

Property changed ownership between reservation and check in. Received no notification of this. New owner did not have our reservation. Reception area looked like previous owner tried to gut it before a foreclosure—looked like signs and/or cabinets torn from walls, etc. Reservation was for a 2-queen room—but discovered hotel has only full-size beds. Place is old and dingy. Very polite and helpful staff is only reason this doesn’t get one star.
