"This hotel is the filthiest rooms I ever saw in my life. I cannot believe they are allowed to even rent these rooms out. I refused to stay! They showed me another room same thing. They need to be reported to the health department. Thank goodness the Clarion hotel was right there and stayed there for a higher price. Staff was great. But unable to stay there. Disgusting!!!"

"Overall, this property was really good. There was plenty of parking, ice machine, microwave, refrigerator, and an extra large TV. I had trouble getting the TV to turn on, but the staff was great and assisted me with that. Everything was in fair condition. However, the tub was a little old looking and the shower head needs to be replaced. Overall, I would stay here again. I was very satisfied overall."
