2/10 Poor

The owner/manager is the absolute worst type of person to be in his position. Hangs up on customers and refuses to take phone calls. He will not help solve issues or even attempt to have a conversation about issues. Absolutely the worst hotel i have ever come across in my life!!! Choice hotel brand should be ashamed to be associated with this gentleman!!

4/10 Fair

Place has gone downhill year after year.

Staff barely speaks English and had to call some One to figure out my reservation. Breakfast area and food was sub par. Other freinds staying this weekend had leaky toilet and a bed sunken in the middle and stained towels. I’ve stayed here for 5 years and it only gets worse every stay. I’m booked for next weekend and it’s my last time here……

Cheep hotel, but still missed low expectations

Room was super hot when entering. Bathroom had ants climbing all over the tub. Beds were uncomfortable.
Kenneth, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

There was mold in various places in our room. Our room smelled of feces when we walked in. The lock on our door was broken, the breakfast was limited options and what they did have, while it was supposed to be warm, was cold.
