2/10 Poor

Montana ranch girl
This was the filthiest most disgusting hotel I’ve ever stayed in. I’m deathly allergic to animals and they said this room had no pets. It stunk It was 1 am and couldn’t get another Uber or find another room that late. Took 4 asthma treatments for the next 5 hours. It needs bulldozing

Meh
Maybe worth it if the final price is $55. After taxes and charges I was near $100. The photo is the gap under my door.

4/10 Fair

Check in was horrible. They wanted us to sign paperwork that didn't even have a price, then they overcharged us, not at the Expedia amount...and the ice maker was broken as well. Looks like they are trying to renovated but, not accomplishing the tasks. Our bathroom door looked like it had been kicked in, patched and not even repainted. Our light over the sink, had a short, only come on when it wanted...not when you turned on the light switch. We will not be staying here ever again. And on check out, didnt even try to ask how our stay was, at least get some feedback first hand not on a review.. then apologize for it afterwards..

6/10 Good

Definitely was not expecting the hotel to look different then the pictures. The pool was not open for memorial weekend. We were afraid to see what the breakfast was like that they served because they hotel was so run round. But it was not to bad of a place to stay for a cheap room.

If they even have a cleaning staff, they should be fired. Visible dirt on surfaces. Rooms generally run down. Wifi inaccessible.
