Guest reviews
What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“Woman who runs appears to be burnt out and really brash... Sheets and pillows had crusty stuff left from previous guests. Bathroom was remodeled and very nice... Tube television was a blast from the past that had a wine so loud you could hear the show”
“The appearance of the place, the price range, and the history all speak for themselves, good and bad. I would like to let anyone reading know however that the hotel manager is a decent human being. A 'nice' manager at this place would be eaten alive. They wouldn't be able to handle it. She's a tough lady but she's fair. -I've lived here for almost a year. Seen it all.”
“This place may be rough around the edges but the people here are wonderful and truly care. Seeing the bad reviews on here make me wonder what those people did to make the management angry, because my experience has been if I needed something she was there to help. I feel safe here as management doesn't put up with people being nasty, or disrespectful to the other people staying here. Don't be so quick to judge and try asking the people who stay here long term with no other place to go and feel at home here.”
