Overall, I liked this place. I especially appreciated it's location and price. However, the room is pretty dated and I was downright grossed out be the chair they had in the room (see photo).

They changed the price of the room on the day of arrival, They didn't have the rooms ready for us for 2 hrs after we were check in we had 8 rooms, did not serve breakfast at 6am per contract and we had to go to another hotel to get breakfast. They asked us not tell the manager.

HORRIBLE!!! The rooms are roughed up, everything is outdated and junky looking. The bathroom door wouldn’t close all of the way or lock and there was no ventilation fan in there. The water in the shower was completely messed up and was scolding. We had no idea that breakfast was not included, so it ended up being around $17.00 a person. Someone told us this after we got the food. Also when down there we had to scrape the bottom of the pan to even get any food because it was all gone. It feels VERY slummy there. This is NOT worth the money. I wish we would’ve stayed at the Holiday Inn Express next door!!
