Just like my first stay, clean, comfy room and friendly, helpful staff. They are also honest in their relationship to guests. I like that! I will stay in the future and it's my first choice now when I go to Portage.

Shower was definitely the worse thing about the room. It was alright but I suggest just paying the extra 20 or so bucks and you can get a much nicer room close by

Not a bad place for the price. If you are looking for a place to sleep for the night with no bells and whistles, this will work!

Our room was very clean and the bed was very comfortable. It looks like they are updating the rest of the property, our room was already updated. It was just noisy with the other guests.

The representative gave me a key to a room where the door lock was splintered like it had been 'jimmied'. The window to the outside (on the 1st floor)was majorly cracked. I insisted on a new room where the lock was not working.
In the room the TV only gets 1 channel

The floors were sticky and the bathroom seemed liked it needed a deep clean. We did not feel comfortable enough to shower.

The room was disgusting, there was mold and spider webs. There was also left over drug tools left in the room as well as broken glass. Place is unsafe, half the doors are boarded up. I cant believe expedia represents this place and the only reason we stayed is because it was too late and couldnt get a refund
