This place is a complete dump! And, even more ridiculous is that it cost as much as other hotels in the area that are much nicer! It was filthy dirty - our clean white socks were filthy on the bottoms within minutes of putting them on and walking around. The kitchen had very old and dated appliances. The room was small. We were stuck next to the elevator as there weren't other rooms available for a family. (We were staying there as accommodations were booked for us by a prospective employer for my husband and our request for a suite given we had our young children with us - we didn't choose the place and CLEARLY they did not know the condition of it - the promptly moved us once we informed them of the condition!) Additionally, the railroad runs just behind the hotel, not even a 1/4 mile from the property, with several trains passing throughout the day/night.
Additionally, the staff were just flat out rude. My husband called the night before to see if they had cribs (not knowing what kind of place it was, of course!) and the individual working was too busy talking to a co-worker to actually listen and answer his questions. We found the staff to behave similarly upon our arrival and during our stay. Not even so much as a smile or hello when passing through the front lobby. More of a glare from them to be honest!
Finally, the area near the elevator on the ground floor smelled really bad as well.
Just don't waste your time or money staying here!!!!
