Wow, where to start. Thought it was a truck stop when I first entered the parking lot.

I stayed here over night in 2010. There had been a water main break in the basement. The staff didn't tell me and there was no hot water. When I told them they did not apoligize of rectify the situation. This was not a good stay.

First night partiers outside our room kept going until 4:30 AM. Management did not control this after several calls- broken glass and litter in parking lot (propped door let them in and out of building), vomiting-the worst! Beds have no fitted sheets- loose over crunchy liner, old beds-horrible. No bathroom fan- water running off walls. Toilet and floor dirty. Carpeting... More

Stayed here for 2 weeks on business. The rooms were large and we appreciated the microwave, frig and coffee maker. Staff were very friendly. Good restaurant and a bar.

The place is old, rooms are outdated, it's like you go to a 3* in Cuba. Fortunatelly there is a excellent Super 8 motel 3Km... More
