Room was clean but in poor condition. Toilet seat had been repainted, picture frame broken, and room door was difficult to open.

When I arrived, they had let someone else check into my hotel earlier that day, so I was in the lobby for an hour or more while they figured it out. Initially I was told there were no more rooms. Than the manager was called on the phone, he came around the corner in socks and bedhead like he just woke up. Than they put me in whay I believe was a smoking room when they finally figured something out for me, just smelled like cigarettes, when I woke up, there was a smokey haze in the room like people had been smoking so much all night in there rooms that it made it’s way into ours. All around a bad experience, wish I would have been given a refund or a discount at the very least.

Guy who checked us in was great. He was super friendly and easy to deal with. However, I got bed bug bites all over my back from the stay.

facility is terrible! Rooms old, worn, filthy, smoky to include weed, and unsafe! NO services (hangers, laundry, iron, microwave, food,...). It seems to be a tired building that is 'attempting' to work on things but a long way to go!
NOT much choice in town, but will stay outside of town in future and drive 30+ mins to get in.

Great experience
Based off of previous reviews I had no idea what to expect. We had a great stay! Bed was comfortable and room was clean. We appreciate it being a dog friendly hotel and not having to pay insane dog fees. The place is currently under renovation. Employees were all very nice. Would stay here again and would definitely recommend. Can't beat the price!

This hotel was the only game in town so it had to work for many family members in town for a wedding. Quite a few people had problems with their keycards not working. Rooms were small but fairly clean. No insulation resulted in us hearing other guests throughout the night.
