Thank god i didnt leave my stuff in the room that they initially gave us because they gave the room to someone else. Said we could pay our deposit in cash and get it back.The next morning, thank god, I did not do that because when I went down the next morning there was a note that says leave your key card.

Mold, stains on sheets and beds, cigarette holes, smelled disgusting, ac was on in entire building but didn’t work, employee picking nose, swears on signs, chlorine on top of smelling like cigarettes hit you as soon as you walk in. The pool water looked thick, elevator was bouncing while the door was closing, my daughter had a nose bleed out of both nostrils as soon as we left the building. No we did not stay we requested a refund because it was horrible!

Stay away

This was easily the worst hotel I have ever stayed in. The building was disgusting. All of it. elevator making huge noises and stopping mid way going up. People hanging around with doors open. Smells awful. I literally left and got a different hotel that night.

The reviews are not kidding, the room had plenty of hair on the floor and some on the bed. The smoke alarm also went off 3 times within 24 hours of being there and when firefighters arrived they told my friend and I "something always happens here." I highly recommend staying elsewhere. I was charged the $50 fee in case any room damages happened on 9/8/25. My stay was until 9/12/25, and when I was not refunded (no damage was done to the room) I called on 9/16. They said to give it a few business days. I called yesterday, 10/8, and they had to go because of customers and did not call back like they said they would. The same thing happened when calling today, except he hung up while I was asking him to confirm he would call back. So this trip from a month ago is causing me to start a dispute with my credit card to get my money because they will not help me. This motel is not worth this hassle, stay literally anywhere else.

ZERO stars if if could! DO NOT believe the pictures! It’s severely run down, carpets are properly original to the place and don’t look like they have ever been cleaned. The whole place smells like stale cigarettes, even with a non-smoking room. Mold, dirt, grime on so many areas of the room, looks like they just pulled the bed linens up and didn’t put new sheets on it. He put us in the back on the 1st floor - we immediately turned around when we saw the room condition and there was a drug dealing going on. NO THANK YOU! We immediately turned in the keys, didn’t even get our bags in the room, he refused a refund… We went and stayed right down the street at a nice, well lit, very clean hotel. Where you wouldn’t be afraid of catching some disease or bacteria just from looking at it.

Motel is rather run down and dingy. Clientele seemed a bit sketchy. That said, it seems family owned and the desk staff were very nice and helpful. They seem like they are trying, for example by providing packaged breakfast foods, and a microwave and fridge in room, but just are limited by the building being in not great condition.

There was no blanket on the bed to use, and the “continental” breakfast they offer is literally frozen eggo waffles or cereal but the milk for the cereal was on the counter for who knows how long so I didn’t risk using it.

Honestly the only nice thing about this place is the chandelier in the entrence of the hotel. Its so dirty our beds where covered in dirt and little rocks all over the beds the pool is sooo grimmy looking n the water is freezing. When we had breakfast we was told we cant take food or drinks back to our room... even though we have a fridge and micerwave. There was no lock on the inside just the keycard lock. The toilet would hardly even flush either. I also think i got lice because my hair and body have been itching non stop since night one at the hotel. We will never return thats for sure. The. We checked out early and cleaned the room. We got called at 11 being told to check out... we already did that. Then they said they would look at the room n see if we would get the deposit back. I still havnt gotten it back n we left that room clean didnt break nothing and still no refund. Worst place eeeeever

Hotel was extremely dirty. Not 3 minutes from Kent State as stated on Expedia; 10-15 minutes depending where on campus you were going. Not a huge issue except I only booked it bc it said 3 minutes outside of the school so I assumed the area would be okay. Super sketchy and the people as well. I travel a lot so I am used to just grabbing a low budget hotel, didn't expect or need much which is why I booked the Econo, just a place to sleep. But definitely will not stay here again when visiting.

Pictures did not accurately show property. Could not get clean towels and beds were not made up. Room type was not what I booked. Bath room real small. Air didn't work properly. Room either to hot or too cold. Problems with elevator. Management claim service was to be done but didn't help with our stay. Pictures showed pool and hot tub but hot tub has been removed.
