"More than I expected! Would stay again and highly recommend."

9.0

Staff was great! I didn't expect much as I wouldn't normally stay here, but was trying to cost save. This place was so much better than I envisioned. The staff is incredibly welcoming. The place is small but clean and will kept. The beds were comfortable and rooms were clean. My daughter fell asleep and had locked the door. At midnight they were more than happy to help us get into the room. Kind and courteous. I will stay here again. *No elevator since it's only 2 floors

Shower drained slow but seeing as many of the guests seemed to work in the construction field, I can only imagine how hard it is to keep the drains clear, lol.

Run down, cluttered with old furniture in halls, outdated, blood stain on a pillow, smelled throughout the place of Marijuana (I had to stuff a towel in Crack of door) heater was obnoxiously loud. I was suppose to stay 2 more nights but ended up finding another hotel. I would have left as soon as I saw and smelled this place but it was too late at night. I asked for a refund through bookings, but no response.
