Our 1st room was on the second floor and they did not have an elevator and the room was dirty and furniture was broken. They ended up giving us a room on the first floor which was in better condition but the furniture was dirty and there was poop on the bathroom wall.

10/10 Exceptional

This was the optimal place to stay for attending a concert at the Westfair Amphitheater- took 10 minutes or so to get there. The hotel smelled good, room was clean, parking was great, and the staff was courteous.

4/10 Fair

Cheap for a reason.

Holes in the walls. Very out dated. Pool closed. Continental breakfast has six options waffles plain bagel white and wheat bread cereal and yogurt.
Ammon, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I stay here every other weekend about with my kids the staff is great nobody really bothers you and have a swimming pool The only downfall at all if there is one is sometimes the high speed internet lags and my son trying to Play PlayStation online gets upset because he can't Play his game online besides that is great

The facility itself is a bit dated as is the carpets, room furniture etc., There is obvious signs of previous water damage. However this is a great hotel for the price. Safe and comfortable. The host were great. Quick efficient check in, friendly and competent.
Kalyn, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Property didn't look like the pictures posted. Got there and the first room was stained and dirty. Toilet wouldn't flush. Got moved to their "best room" .. once in the room there were holes in the bathroom doors, window glass was falling out of the opening to the outside of the property. Bed sheets were stained as well as the chairs in the room for sitting. Strong urine odor in bathrooms of both rooms. Receptionist was nice and understood the concern. He mentioned he has told the owner about these issues before and they do not care or make any changes. Receptionist was honest and tried to help as much as he could. Property owner is to blame for how this all was. Other guest were trying to also leave due to the same issues. Place should be shut down.

8/10 Very good

The property is maintained very cleaned. The personnel is highly courteous. Very good customer service. Parking lot is ample. The only thing was that my room face it train rails and I listened to the passing wagons.
