Breakfast was decent. Staff was excellent. Rooms have been updated, but the TV buffered very often. There was mold in the bathroom and a broken toilet paper holder. Could have been better. Beds were half way decent.

The room was clean, but old. The people were wonderful. Everyone working there was really nice and helpful. The breakfast could use some protein, but what they had was good. I couldn't get any news stations on the TV, but that might have been because I'm of the older generation and can't work the equipment like the kids can. All in all, I enjoyed my stay.

This hotel was inaccurate from the description and amenities. Upon arrival the room that was supposed to have 1 king bed, 1 queen and bunk beds was only bunk beds and 1 king bed. It did not sleep the number of people that was described on the website. This said a hot continental breakfast, this was not that it only had waffles.

Parking was not safe. People loiter outside of the hotel a lot. The staff is cool when they are present but not enough to make up for the terrible location
Cracked wood paneling that causes the floor around it to sink
Light fixture was broken in bathroom
Insane amount of scratches on floor. I’m assuming it’s from the couch pulling in and out, but the whole area needs to be redone

Couldn't hardly sleep at night, the walls are either very thin or staff neglected to keep rowdy guests in check. There was someone stomping around above me all night, arguing with someone, a infant screaming on one side and another couple "getting" very busy very loudly on the other side, as well as my door didn't close correctly and it always sounded like it was being opened.
