City workers used the parking lot as a staging area and ran jack hammers and quickie saws all night. Understanding that this is unavoidable when it comes to construction but would have been considerate of the staff to at least warn customers of the situation. Additionally the staff was minimal and not friendly at all with no hours of the front door posted. Furthermore, I locked my key in the room after hours and called the emergency number they had posted, left a message and never got a call back to see if i was able to renter my room! Will not stay there again.

I will be contacting you via phone for a refund. This hotel was awful, my employees refused to stay here and I had to relocate them to another hotel. This was antiquated, dirty and the room had a foul, mildew odor, the couch was stained. Just unacceptable, even for my 2 employees in the area for work. They would have preferred a motel 6 over this place.

There was nobody at the desk office during our stay (2 nights), no bike was available, the property was very noisy at night. There was NO service. It is not worth the price.

Staff was great and accommodated needs that I had for late check-in. It was motel-comfortable, clean and simple - just what I needed. My 4 legged friend was welcome and we had a good stay. Internet was stable enough that I could do work without interruption.
