4/10 Fair

Disappointing Stay
The Hotel is very clean and the Staff were very friendly. Our problem was, they put us in a room by the back door. I honestly believe someone was dealing drugs from that backdoor. ALL NIGHT LONG THAT DOOR BANGED OPEN AND CLOSED EVERY 10 TO 15 MINUTES. We had a new kidney transplant patient with us and none of us got any sleep that night. It was absolutely horrible and when I told the gal at the front desk she was clueless. Of course Never offered to help make it right. We have stayed here several times before but never again. Time to find a better place.

The room was lacking facial tissues, just an empty holder, the bath needed cleaning and the multiple plug for charging did not work.

2/10 Poor

The place was filthy and outdated! The wall trim was peeling off in my room, the bathroom was terribly old and gross, the water shot out the bottom and the top at the same time. The air conditioner unit fell off the wall in one of the rooms and the heat did not work in my room. I slept with my window open because the room smelled of mold/mildew. The mattresses were awful and lumpy. The bed spreads were filthy. The mattress "protector" was ripped old and dingy. The entrance smelled like feces as well as the elevator. There was a homeless man walking the halls and the front desk person could not make him leave. We had a cheer team of young High school girls staying at the hotel and we did not feel safe. There was trash in the parking lot and cats trying to get inside. Breakfast!! Hard boiled eggs in a community bowl for people to reach in and take, gross! a Pot of "hot water" as the tore up paper said that was stuck to the pot with tape. No milk. Overall it was a terribly gross stay and I would NEVER stay there again. If I could give this Hotel a 0 I would.

Clean but need another mirror and breakfast on tim
Everything was great. The breakfast was good, BUT we didnt get to enjoy it on outlr second day (Saturday) because she was 30min late setting up. Only other complaint is please get a second mirror in rooms. When mire than one person need to get ready for the day only having ONE mirror INSIDE the bathroom is nit conducive.

A decent hotel.
It was hard to find parking late at night. Breakfast was basic and showed the wear of an older building. It was across the street from the fairgrounds.
