Stayed one night only and it will be my last......dirty and soiled box springs on the bed , visible as there was no valance. Wrong fuse put in the heater, so it blew and the room was freezing.......paint peeling off bathroom celing along with badly stained tiles......but also had a cockroach lying on its back on the floor alive.

I called this hotel to ask some questions and I wanted to speak to the manager and/or the owner. When I called to ask the person who answered the phone wanted to know why I was asking. I told her I had some questions and comments and I wanted to direct them to someone in change. She then transferred me... More

We booked online, so the pictures do not really show the nasty interior that the hotel rooms possess. You would think that for $110, you would at least get something clean, not glamorous, just clean. When we arrived in the room, we thought at first we could just rough it for one night. I jumped in the shower to get... More

I arrived late to the hotel on a Sunday night, but even in the dark I could tell the facade was tired and old. I should have known by the 4 other cars in the parking lot that no one else wanted to stay there. I had to walk outside from the main lobby to get to my room. The... More

I arrived late and exhausted to the hotel. That was my second mistake. My first mistake was booking this room without knowing anything about it. The sidewalk lights were dim and I felt a bit uncomfortable. The air felt dirty when I entered into the room. There was no "clean" smell to it at all. The carpet was filthy and... More

I've been staying at this hotel for over 40 years. It's definitely not the same as when it was in its prime as a Holiday Inn, but I've never experienced any of the things written by other reviewers. I stayed here twice this summer, once at the end of July; most recently Aug. 26 through Aug. 30. Both times our... More

I took my wife and 3 daughters to the beach and the erie zoo. Needed something close but affordable for two nights. We didn't need fancy just clean. Upon arriving a man was urinating on a taxi out front. You can't blame the hotel but the stage was setting. The room was a non smoker but smelled musty and smokey... More

The online pictures must be from the day it was built. Room toilet was tankless because it was like an old gas station toilet. There was old dried shower gel stuck to the tub and walls of the shower. Ripped up carpet, dirty lamp shades, the place smelled of urine, the pool was absolutely green with dirt floating on the... More

The exterior is frightening, but the interior matches. I was 2 doors away from a room that had broken windows and police tape surrounding it. The room I stayed in was a mess. Not vacuumed, dirty towels on sink and hanging from bathroom door, old food in fridge, tub was atrocious. They sent night maids in, but they barely did... More
