“Good for a quick stay”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 October 2011

Good place to sleep if you're coming in late to get to the aiport. You get what you pay for, but the bed was comfortable and the staff was friendly.

“What a dump!! Stay away!!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 June 2011

It was FILTHY! The lock was busted off the door as if it had been kicked in. The screen on our first floor room was bent and jammed in the window-clearly it had been yanked out. Smelled of smoke. Burn marks on toilet, bath tub, counter tops, even the headboard. It is a flop house. But you get what you pay for-$45 is NOT a deal. Just creepy!
Don't go out to the parking lot after dark. Woman at the front desk is not very nice. Oh, and the indoor pool and jacuzzi- NOT OPEN. Itis a storage unit for mini fridges thAt used to be in the rooms.

Room Tip: Stay elsewhere. This is a druggy flop house.

“Dirty”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 June 2011

To start the front desk staff were not welcoming or friendly. They didnt even seem like they cared. There were giant old tv's behind the front desk showing survalence footage of the hallways. There were also typed signs saying no visitors after 9 pm. There was also signs saying they werent reaponsible for lost/stolen items. This all gave me the impression that it was not a very safe place to stay. The area around the hotel is run down. There is a shut done casino next door and a trailer park. Once we got in our room we saw hair near the sink and in the tub which was really gross. There was also dog food on the floor near the dresser. The bathtub dripped all night. The hairdryer didn't function properly and only 2 shower towels were provided. The kings size bed was very low quality ( no bed bugs though ). One of the pillows on our bed was like a pillow from an old couch or something that they had just put a pillow case over… that was really bad. I was pretty shocked by how bad it really was. Also when we asked about the pool the guy basically just said
"maintenance is being done" with no other explanation or apology.
I'm pretty sure they use that as an excuse to never open the pool
because there were no signs
pointing to the direction of the pool
like there would be if it were
normally open. The worst part of
the hotel was that the room keys
basically only worked one time and
then you'd have to go get another
one. The keys are like credit cards
and they would constantly get
demagnetized we went through
about 6 keys in our two days stay.
The staff didn't seem surprised or
apologetic. The parking is terrible
with no entrance to the hotel from
the back of the lot. The rooms do have refrigerators and microwaves. There is cable tv and wifi. Don't stay here.

“relieved!”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 August 2007

Yikes! I sure panicked after reading the reviews on this site after I booked through Hotwire.
We finally got to the place after 1am and I was so nervous! What I found tho' was a simple, clean place with friendly people. The only surprise was that the shuttle from the airport was $10. They only charged us one way tho'.
I didn't look at the pool and the breakfast was just toast, cereal, juice and coffee but the overall experience was pleasant. There was a sign that said "new management" - maybe that accounts for the nicer stay?
