This is a basic hotel without a lot of fanfare, which I knew when I booked. A little dated with worn carpet and damage to walls. The room and bed were decent and water pressure was good. Staff friendly and accommodating. Some decent restaurants not far from hotel.

Try somewhere else

Well, the bed was broken down. Two small flat pillows. No coffee. Microwave blows the breaker at 45 seconds. Broken missing lights in hallway and room. Large room with spartan furniture. Desk help wasn't sure where the room was in the building. Mostly rent by week or month clientele with six broken down cars in the parking lot...

The staff at this property are very nice and helpful. The building is in need of upgrades to weekly rooms. The nightly rooms are in much better condition. For someone just needing a room for a night or two, you can't go wrong here. The weekly rate is too much for outdated rooms. Overall the place was quiet and clean.

I did not stay. The building looked unkept, windows broken and a car that appeared abandoned. This is the first time ive ever felt unsafe at a property
Mark, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

I didn’t actually get to stay here because my stay was cancelled. I would never have known until I showed up had I not called to inquire about check in times. They offered no help in getting us a room somewhere else and we ended up having to drive an hour and a half away to find a hotel. They were very apologetic but completely unhelpful.

Dated however it looks like they are trying to update some rooms as allowed. Beds and linens we newer. Being a new mattress it was comfortable but they have left the plastic wrap on them. This makes it very noisy, hot and uncomfortable when you are trying to sleep. Had to leave a $50 cash deposit and was told if we paid for our stay by card it would cost more than the posted price. It appears many of the rooms are for more long term residents.

We rented the suite and it was such a a great deal. It was only 114 bucks on Expedia and that included the Jacuzzi!! The gentleman at the front desk, I believe his name was Ryan (maybe Josh ) was super friendly, nice, and very helpful. He went above and beyond to make sure we had a great stay and had everything we needed while we were there. (Thank you again for the lighter!) I will say they have done a massive amount of remodeling to this place and it looks amazing!! They are still working on it so if staying somewhere where there is still MINOR updates being done would bother you just know there are small things still being incorporated into the property. I wish they allowed pets or had a select few rooms that were pet friendly because I would like to go back and stay for more than one night and take my dog. The only thing that I really didn't like was that there isn't a bathroom in the lobby, other than that I was completely satisfied with my stay and the staff. Thanks so much!!

I don't expect much for $60 a night, I just hope that the room is clean. Unfortunately, it was not. There was a dead bug to great me as soon as I entered the room, and more in the hallway. A used wash cloth from the previous occupants had been left in the shower. There was a spider in the shower and cob webs in the bathroom. Carpet and ceiling were stained, and the whole place was in a state of disrepair. Expedia listed the room as having breakfast, but it did not.

8/10 Very good

Property was under some renivations but not to bad. quiet enough. The big inconvenience is the key lock did not work fornthe rooms due to these renovations. i was told first day we will have a key for you tomorrow. I was there 4 days and same story every day. i never got a key which meant somone had to escort me to my room. As a female alone it didnt make me feel real safe. tThe people were nice but wish they had told me ablut the key issue or offered some sort of partial refund. I mean no key. If they got keys and i went back to Kentucky i would go back

Our stay was nice the desk attendant was very polite and accommodating. I was a little surprised that they do not clean rooms daily on multiple night stays and bring fresh towels. I asked the attendant about it and she said, " guest complained about them coming into rooms when they are not there". So they stopped doing it, which I found odd. She did give us fresh towels upon request. Also it stated on your website that breakfast was included. No breakfast. I asked about that. She said, "we have not served breakfast in a very long time". She apologized again. I told her not your fault you just work here. Overall the stay was good.

The hotel was old and not updated. The fire alarm was straight wired with exposed wires. Leaks in the hallway plumbing. The manager was very good, She helped us with another hotel in the area for the next night.
