Didn’t like how dirty it was. Didn’t like that the back door was propped open all night. Didn’t like that we waited almost an hour when we returned to the hotel in order to be able to get into our room due to the battery in the door not working.
I've stayed at nicer motels. Really a crappy place.

Dog friendly
Good place for dog owners to stay, compared to Econolodge, which is horrible. Desk staff was very helpful and the room was clean with no heavy "Febreze" smell. Bring your own pillows. Our room had a sliding door with a little patio, which was cool. Pool closed, no problem for us. It used to be a swanky hotel back in the day, now I'd say it's just a place to sleep. I would stay there again.
The hotel is totally out date the room and surrounding area are old and dirty. The bedding and towel had stains on them. I would never stay there again and feel the representation was not truthful.
The place is a dump. It is dirty and very dated. My bathroom was in need of repairs. Towels and linens were very old.

The hotel was comfortable. The outside is dirty the parking lot is a mess. The hotel has some shady characters living there. It needs an upgrade. But the room was comfortable and clean
very old facility, no breakfast, no towels when we got to the room they switched us from because our first room would not open due to the electronic lock lacking battery.
staff was friendly though but it was a disappointing stay. I guess that was enough overnight on our way to NYC.
So it was clean and they were very polite. There indoor pool was locked I don’t even know if it was usable. The mattresses could be upgraded. By the time we left my back was hurting so bad from the spring mattress.
Neither key card worked, ended up the door lock was actually broken and no key card needed (found that out afterward). Place is NOT being maintained in the least. Used to be be a nice place to stay, not any more. Towels are beyond their life, tattered and torn. Hot water for a shower was non-existent.

showing age, needs to be upgraded. was quiet despite being next to a highway
Formerly a classy hotel, we were disappointed with the condition of the hotel. Finding a former guest’s belongings in the shower made us concerned about the state of cleanliness.
Got sent to a different building not a problem but when i got there spent 20 mins looking for ice. Only to have to drive back to the main building to find out they were out of ice. T.V did not work when went to front desk for help because i didnt even have a phone in my room told me all he does honestly is come play with the channels offered no help. No microwave in room either. Killed 2 different kind of bugs in the room in the first 10mins.

First room we couldn’t get in. Door needed new battery. Then the second room has an odor and the carpet is wet from the air conditioner. Soaking wet. Could be mild issue under the carpet causing the odor.

Should Keep Guest In Mind
The whole design of the hotel was not design for guest. First, the pool has been out of service for over a year, close to two years. Which my children were looking forward to getting into the pool. If you needed ice, which we did,. We had to get ice from the front desk, (there are stated signs that says ice machines on first and 3rd floors) You have to stand there and wait in the hot lobby which there is no air condition flowing, not even for the workers 🤔 and have trust that the front desk person just gives you ice. No microwaves in the rooms, which we needed. The room keys had to keep getting re-programed in both rooms we had. All though the staff were very nice and professional, I will not stay there again ☹️ I was not pleased with the hotel.
It was convenient; staff was friendly, room was clean and priced well.

We lived in this town 20 years ago. This was the premier hotel and Conference Center. It was sad to see how deteriorated everything was. Restaurant left 3 years ago. Washcloths were stringy, towels also. I would be embarrassed to send anyone there. Breakfast was cold cereal and bagels. Coffee and tea. I felt like I was in the twilight zone. Sad.
