“Stay somewhere else.”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 January 2012

I had high hopes for this hotel upon arriving, especially since they've put so much money into the lobby. However, the fact that it shares a parking lot with a Menard's and is located right near the highway should have tipped me off.

For some reason, there were no sheets available - the bed only had a comforter and a fitted sheet. To that I say - GROSS! The room I had had no windows to the outside, as it faced out over an inner courtyard.

Additionally, I received a $15 charge on my credit card 2 days after staying there, without even so much as a phone call from the hotel as to why they were charging me after I had paid the room in full. I emailed them, and they told me that I had "ruined" the sheets by leaving stains, which was false. Given the cleanliness standards of the hotel, it's very likely that the alleged "stains" were already there! I am very unimpressed with the way this was handled, especially since sheet cost is normal overhead for any hotel. Additionally, since they charged me after I had left the hotel, there was no way for them to prove that the "stains" were actually there - I had no recourse but to accept the charges. I complained to the manager, but received no response.

Overall, the worst hotel experience I've had.

“Big room, quiet location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 December 2011

This hotel is a bit back from the main road, so it's pretty quiet. The room was really big and had a flat screen tv, a small fridge, and a microwave, in the regular rooms. Check in was fast and easy, I would stay here again.

“Problems”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 November 2011

person found this review helpful

I checked into this extended stay hotel in October 2011. I have not slept a whole night since and am being forced to consider moving though I have much longer to go on my business trip to the area.
The hotel has a high population of persons who reside there under benefits from HUD or some such City, State, or Federal Aid programs.
Theses folk evidently do not have to work, so they party all night long, hollering, slamming doors, throwing trash, doing laundry at 4 AM etc.....and no one from Staff appears to take notice, though the entire place is covered by an elaborate camera security system! Police cruise the place constantly after dark, and that alone tells you that all has not been well here. Forget using the Business Center since residents tie it up all day cruising the internet.
I think the GM really wants to do better, but he is outnumbered, and folks who live there for free will ruin his place in the long run. They have no respect for others.

Room Tip: Look at the room before making the transaction. No such thing as a quiet room location here.

“great price big room”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 November 2011

person found this review helpful

I must say I loved the price and the room was great it had a full size fridge, microwave, WiFi, a little desk that was very cute and a very open room. The draw backs because it was less expensive their was a few issues with loud guests with lots of children unsupervised and a few permenant residence that made the place feel odd as you knew this was their actual home not just a long term rental. I was there for 2 weeks for schooling and honestly I will use them again they were worth it.

Room Tip: they printed papers I needed for free
