      Not great but not terrible ”

      The facilities are just run down. The floor was peeling in the room, there was black mold in the bathtub. The walls are so thin we could hear the people on both sides of us. The fitness center was two machines and the tv didn’t work. The breakfast was almost all bread. It was just ok.

      Low quality hotel”

      In the shower, there was mold on the ceilings and in the tub. This hotel allows dogs, which is great if you have a pet. But there were several rooms were the dogs kept barking all night. It was hard to sleep at all. There was chipped paint and the walls were not clean. I would not stay here again in the future.

      Male guests terrorized me by slamming his door constantly then hitting my door. I told the woman manager who asked me if I was from ames. If I was from ames I would understand. Then she said we acknowledge you "woof" then guests that live there started to say woof.
