“Still nursing the flea bites”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 August 2011

people found this review helpful

Unless you are on a budget, avoid this hotel! When you walk in the hallway the musty oder is overwhelming. The rooms smell much the same. We needed to purchas some air freshener to make it tolerable. I have stayed here many times over the last 25 years and this was the wost condition this facility has ever been in. My wife and I were both eaten by fleas while we slept.

“The other reviews are not that far off”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 September 2009

After reading the reviews I was wary of what we'd come to at the end of the day. Being a holiday weekend, we felt lucky to find anything for a decent price.

Our room wasn't necessarily so bad. We just needed a place to sleep. The carpet was fairly new, our sheets weren't stained or torn or anything like others have reported (no bugs, either). The towels were pretty rough, like sandpaper. The bathroom was clean, although the ledge on the sink below the mirror looked as though it hadn't been cleaned or wiped in some time (dust, hair). The seat of the chair by the bed did have some scary stains on it. I used it to rest my suitcase on (the arms). We stayed in the other building (the one that's not attached to the office) and the one thing that immediately troubled me was the fact that the heat was on in the hallway, which affected the entire building. It was HOT inside that building. The heat, along with the heavy smell of cleaning products or deodorizers was enough to make me not feel well. Thankfully once we got to our room, we found that the windows opened, so we left our window opened all night. I still had a major itch in my nose and a headache for a lot of the next day.

The motel clearly needs some updating and some deep cleaning. It looks like they might be attempting to update it little by little, but a little bit of thorough vacuuming and scrubbing would go a long way until then.

“Dark, dank and depressing”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 August 2009
2
people found this review helpful

Stayed for 1 night on a $60 bid from priceline, so I couldn't turn it down. I travelled alone and do not smoke. I was given a king smoking room, maybe because I checked in late. The room smelled of smoke, so I slid the window open.

The room was poorly lit. The first thing I noticed was a bug on the sheets, in the shape of a round popcorn kernel. I put a pillow over its head and hoped it would go away. On the other side of the bed, the sheets had cigarette holes. The armchair had similar cigarette holes. The carpet was gross and I never took off my shoes.

I put paper on the chair so I could sit at the desk. I couldn't get on the Internet so I phoned the office (the phone was sticky) and the man helped me, with his broken English. I got on, then I checked my mail, but I couldn't send an email.

I used my own sheets that I brought and went to sleep. In the middle of the night I got on the computer and sent the email. In the morning I left quickly. I noticed the parking lot, (which is unpaved), was filled with cars. They had a lot of customers.

I would not recommend this hotel to anyone. I did not feel like a guest there. I felt very uncomfortable to say the least. It is obvious they don't care about their guests, since they are not putting any money into the property.

“Pretty gross--you get what you pay for”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 July 2009

person found this review helpful

My husband and I stayed at this hotel on our way up to Northern Maine. We really just needed a place to sleep for a few hours, and almost every hotel in the area was booked, so this is where we ended up. As soon as we walked into our room, the stench of mold hit us in the face. We then noticed that the smell was most likely coming from a broken air conditioner that was leaking all over the carpet (which was soaking wet before we arrived). Aside from the smell, the water, and the nastiness, the television did not work at all, and the bathroom was disgusting. I felt like I was back in a college dorm, having to wear my flip flops in the shower it was so nasty. If you can avoid this hotel, I would strongly recommend doing so.
