There were windows broken, the smell down the hall was nearly unbearable, no blankets, only sheets, much repair needed in the room, the faucet, the bathroom door handle (don’t get trapped), the fan in the bathroom, etc. The room served it’s purpose.

Complete disbelieve
I honestly can’t even believe you would offer this abandoned rundown creepy unsafe horror scene as a hotel option period! We arrived late around 10 PM or so during a snow storm with freezing temps and scarcely visible driving conditions ready to relax. There was not one outdoor light anywhere in or around the parking lot nor did they have any lights even on the building or by the entry anywhere, there were two vehicles parked side by side at one end of the hotel that looked as if they had been broken down and abandoned with the ghost town hotel ages ago! As we pull near the dark scary looking entry a man in all dark clothing with a shovel walks the sidewalk going around the building, inside a man who can’t speak any English I’m struggling to tell him I had a reservation eventually seems to understand and says “ID! ID!? I hand it to him he takes it goes straight to his cell makes a call where he then tells the person on the other line everything on my ID and takes a picture of it never once even touching his computer. The man never acknowledges my boyfriend at all, as we are finishing up the shovel man walks in smiles disappears we go back to our car and tried to park but got stuck because nothing had been shoveled. In our room on two mirrors and the window there are wet dripping crosses marked by someone fingers that had just put them there upon our arrival. Vending machines had 3 packs of peanuts and no drinks no cups and an ice cold room! The worst hotel stay ever!!!

It was ok for us to just sleep the bed was very comfortable, the bathroom was pretty dirty the shower curtain and the stainless stuff was covered in soap scum we didn't even shower the room was big and it did have a nice tv and bed the ac worked good. The staff was extremely nice but the parking lot and driveway needs alot of work the reason for the not so great review was the dirty shower a spots of blood on the bathroom wall by the toilet paper holder and the biggest issue was there was no coffee maker and they didnt have any coffee in the lobby every amenities they had were out of order or "under construction". We have stayed at worse but they need to do alot of work for sure and clean a little better the bathrooms anyway. But the staff was amazing.

The Room Smelled like mold and mildew. The Carpet in the room was damp, The shower was falling apart and sprayed as much as the wall as it did the tub. There was unknown yuck spots on the walls and ceiling. The Desk Person was very polite but very hard to understand as he did not speak English very well, but did make a great effort.

At check in clerk asked for cash only. We said we were card users. He informed us that his card reader was broke and insisted on cash. We insisted on using a card. Funny how all of a sudden the card machine started working. Hmmmm. Other guests had the same problem.room was filthy, full length mirror had body and hand smudges. Refrigerator looked like it was pulled out of the dumpster. Had a hole in the bathroom door from someones fist. TV was twisted and tilted in the bracket. Had no drinking glasses, no coffee, no kleenex even thoe there was a holder for them. Faucets had not been cleaned for quite sometime. Ice machine did not work. No items in vending machine. Pool was out of service. Elevator did not work. No breakfast was served. Key did not work to room so everytime we came back manager gave us a master key, then we had to walk upstairs to the far end of the hotel, unlock the door ourselves then return the key back downstairs to him. What a joke!! We were there for the races and no other hotels were available or we would have left. They gave our room to someone else the 1st night, surprise. Then two nights we came back late and our door was open. Nothing was missing, WOW. Never had maid service. I could keep going but i believe you all get the point. STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE!!!!
