Reviewed By Wikedbutterfly

First of all I want to say that my husband booked this hotel for us to have an evening to ourselves for our Anniversary. So I was pretty stoked about it. When we arrived it seemed like a decent place. When we walked it we could immediately here children running down the halls yelling and screaming. We just assumed that maybe there was a child's Birthday party or something so it shouldn't be a big deal because it would eventually end. When we checked in we even mentioned something about it to the lady behind the desk and she also stated it was probably a birthday party goung on. We then made our way to our room and at first glance it seemed ok. We did our routine flashlight check of the mattress and couches looking for any evidence of bugs. We were please to find nothing! So we settled in for the evening. We decided to fill the whirlpool tub and get in. We noticed right away that the faucet leaked at the base of the spout. After we got in we also found that the cover for the overflow was barely hanging on and when we turned it on we also found that the cover for one of the air intakes was missing so it was very loud. And after we got out we noticed water pushing up between the floor tiles. After all of that we settled in to bed to enjoy some quiet time and by that time it was around 11pm and we could still hear children running the halls and hitting the walls. And in the room above us there was constant running and jumping. We talked about going somewhere else but figured with it being so late and Mothers Day weekend as well there would be little chance of finding a decent room anywhere close. So we just decided to deal with it. In the morning when we checked out I spoke to the person at the front desk about our experience and even showed her pictures, she offered her apologies that was all she offered. I was disappointed that she didn't even offer to discount our room or anything at all! After all we spent $160 on this room and got little to no sleep and absolutely no peace and quiet! So if you are looking for a nice room that is even remotely maintained and any peace and quiet this is definitely not your place!!!!

Mouse in house

Reviewed By Jill H

I do not recommend. Very old and outdated. Hole in wall under sink which allowed a mouse to come out while in bathroom. Beds are old and bathtub was taped to help with water getting thru the sides. Check room before paying in case you choose not to stay.

Worst BW experience

Reviewed By SnowyShenanigans

Had room 149. Two people above us started arguing around 2AM. They were shouting, cursing and stomping of feet. This lasted 30 minutes. They were then joined by a 3rd person. More shouting, cursing and stomping of feet. While this was going on we started to pack quietly hoping to get out of our room and into our car safely. We had 2 backpacks, 3 handbags and a blind dog. When we felt that it was safe enough to go out of room, we quickly walked to our car, secured our dog tossed the bags where they fit and screeched out of the parking lot. When I dropped off the key at the front I told the manager what we had experienced. He answered that he had already asked the residents to stop making noise or he would kick them out of the hotel. This was our experience. Yours might differ greatly.

Great Location but lacks much

Reviewed By MissPriv

My husband and I booked 3 nights at this hotel. The hotel was conveniently located off I80, clean and had a friendly front desk person. The room itself was adequate, but towels only for one person, one bar of soap and minimal other items. We had to run down a maid or front desk person each day for these items. Hotel was noisy both with people talking and flushing of toilets and showers from other rooms. The breakfast that was included was basically excessively minimal. No attendant to speak to and if you arrived at 8:30 am there was almost nothing left to eat. All fruit and eggs were gone and since we were over a weekend, Saturday’s food was exactly what was left from from Friday. Nothing had been added. On Sunday at 8 am there was no food left but green bananas so we had to go to a restaurant (breakfast hours are 6-9 am). Maybe good for a quick overnight, but I would not recommend this hotel.
