In their property page, they state they have a gym and a pool, of which both weren't available! They advertise that breakfast is free, but there is no warm food, only cereal, coffee, toast & oatmeal. We had to change rooms immediately upon arrival, because the room had not been cleaned. Overall, the whole facility was unclean and smelled bad!

This property has new owners who just acquired it within the last month. I’m confident that there will be many changes and improvements ahead. The location right off I-71 is convenient. I would stay here in the future should my travels are nearby. Thank you.

The room was covered in splattered paint/marker. There was "game" cards covered in dust above the lamps, smoke detector coveres in plastic bag. No towels or washcloths, 1/2 roll of toilet paper. Door looked busted/pried open. Deadbolt wouldn't lock. Outside had homeless persons clothes around the trash cans, dumpters, looking in the windows was mattresses stacked up in the hallways.

Could not stay was a wast of money. The lobby was decent. The halls to the room were hazy with cigarette smoke, the room reaked of cigarette smoke, hole in the wall, very unclean, holes in the bathtub, only one door worked other than the main loby, did not feel safe at all. The parking lot had piles of old tree branches everywhere. Definitely do not stay here, very unsafe and disgusting.

The property seems to have been either out of service for years and just reopened again, or allowed to run into the ground with zero maintenance. There's obvious and severe decay in everything from furniture, stained carpet, broken shower head, rusty microwave, mirror removed from wall and kept in a corner, and the list goes on and on. The wallpaper is simply peeling off of walls and ceiling, half of the dining room being used for storage, and an offensive musty smell all over the place. The only good thing is the staff who seem to be doing their best under the circumstances. I'm told this place is scheduled for a complete reno. Maybe they should shut it down, renovate and then reopen once it's ready to house guests again. Pictures in the ad are probably from its prime, the place is nowhere even close to it anymore.
