Price was decent.

The facility is in bad shape, needs renovation inside and out. Pool had been closed and for awhile and full of trash and debris. Non-smoking room clearly had been smoked in.

My complaint has nothing to do with the hotel's condition; it has to do with the hotel's "gameday" policy. I received a phone call at 9 am, which I almost did not take because it was an unknown number, asking me if I still intended to use the room I had reserved as a pay-at-property reservation months ago. I said yes. I was told that I had to pay right there and then, over the phone, or the room would be released. It felt like a shakedown. I don't like just giving my credit card information over the phone, and I like to pay at the property so that I am there when the charge is run through. I have never had an issue with this! I paid because I had no choice. I was told that this was a "gameday" policy, but I can't find that anywhere stated on my reservation. Very shady!

It’s affordable, quiet,comfortable and a convenient spot for us to get my children back and forth to school. The property was pretty clean and is minutes way from restaurants and other attractions.

Not having a phone depending on the room

I bought my friend the room for the night as he was visiting from out of town. He was unable to get the room because it said it was $46 that I had paid but needed another $50 for a “security hold” that he didn’t have and I had no transportation to get there so I’m out of the money and he never got a room. They refused to take my card over the phone as well.
