“Just say no.”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 September 2006

The hallway was dark and dingy; not fresh and inviting.

The air in my room was stale and stuffy, and smelled of motel cleaning products.

The room was uncomfortably warm. I set the a/c unit to the highest coldest setting-----it would come on for a few minutes then shut itself off.

I called downstairs to reserve a wake-up call. The phone rang and rang and rang-----no answer.

When I stepped out of the shower there was a big black bug on the bathroom floor.

I paid $89 to spend a night in this dump. I almost feel like somebody should have paid me to stay there.

I was happy to check out and re-emerge into the sunlight and fresh air.

“Not bad...really”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 June 2006

We took a chance on this hotel after reading many negative reviews. We brought our own towels, air spray, disinfectant and wipes just in case. It turned out we didn't need any of the items we bought. Although the site stated it was renovated in 2005, the hallway carpets, walls, doors are still very dated.

Our room was quite clean, towels, fresh linens, clean bath tub. One thing didn't work was the free wireless Internet. Our laptop worked fine at home but could not connect to the open access point, which is strange. Other than that minor glitch it was an OK experience for us.

“Smelled Awful!”

I was really disappointed when I first saw the outside of this hotel. Then when we got into our room, it smelled very moldy and dirty. The bed was super uncomfortable and the sheets felt like sandpaper. They seriously need to do some renovations or something because this place is kind of a dump.

“worst hotel we've ever encountered”

I had guests stay at this hotel recently and I'm sorry to say that I'm embarrassed. The hot water was not working for the majority of their stay. On two occasions, there were no towels available. What kind of hotel has no hot water or towels?
Needless to say, I will never ever recommend this hotel to anyone.

“okay for a budget hotel”

We got a great rate for this hotel on Hotwire and were satisfied with our stay. It is definately a basic hotel, nothing fancy. Great location with easy access to the interstate and close to shopping and restaurants. Check in was friendly and the clerk gladly moved our rooms to a quieter wing when we found out groups of cheerleaders were staying in rooms near the pool. The rooms and lobby were clean. The bathrooms were quite small, but some rooms have a separate vanity. Bring your own toiletries, as those provided are very basic and not of high quality. The beds were comfortable enough, though mattress pads or covers would help. If you want the most peaceful stay, request wing A, as it is the farthest from the pool and fitness room and people young and old were walking/running, talking/shouting through wings B and C constantly on their way to and from the pool. Our biggest complaint was the poor condition of the machines in the fitness room. Several were not in working order. Don't spend a lot of money on this hotel, but if you can get a great deal like we did, it was fine.
