A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“Overall our stay was pleasant and enjoyable. The staff was well trained and eager to help. The second night of our stay had some water backing up in the shower and bath sink. After notifying the desk, they were able to get us a replacement room promptly and we were left appreciative. The breakfast is basic but the waffles seem better than most hotels. And ice machines seem to be clean and are working. Housecleaning could be better but I'm not disgusted. The bathroom was not visibly dirty but you could tell the toilet seat had not been cleaned or the floor mopped recently. The room overall was clean and the beds and other linens were very clean I could smell the hint of bleach. Which is comforting to someone who frequently stays in hotels that may not change the sheets The building is old and is easy to find its age visible. Not quite poorly maintained but out of date and some old repairs are visible. It seems some recent updates have been made and could be more coming. Location could not be any better, the place is in a very safe area with low crime. So we were not worried about car theft or break-ins. It is also close to many food options and other necessities and an easy in and out option for those on long trips.”
“This is a great place to stay. On arrival I’m always greeted with a friendly smile and words of welcome. The check in process is smooth and easy. The room is always ready and super clean. The drains on the sinks and tubs are always in efficient working condition. The beds and pillows are first rate I’ve always had a comfortable stay and that’s why I keep coming back. Ms Marsh is very efficient in her organization and preparation for getting guests checked in.Hats off to Helena and Nevada for their hospitality and professionalism and to the other staff for service that’s ranks with the best I’ve ever received anywhere.”
“Decent stay for the price Check-in was easy and hassle-free. Our room was spacious, and the bed was comfortable. The bathroom had mini shampoo, conditioner, and soap, which was a nice touch. That said, there were a couple of downsides. The bed had a noticeable stain—though I did check thoroughly and found no signs of bed bugs. There was also a hole in the bathroom wall. The hallway had a strong smell of weed, which unfortunately made its way into our room. Breakfast was included, but not the best. The eggs, sausage, and potatoes lacked flavor and were cold. The pancake mix was too runny. Still, it's hard to complain too much since it was complimentary. Overall, considering the price and comparing it to other hotel reviews, it was an okay place to stay.”
“Check in & out was a breeze! The staff was very friendly, professional and accommodating. Coffee & breakfast were hot & good. The market was very handy, even though we didn't need to use it. Location easy to get to get to also. We will use them again.”
