The room was very nice. It was well designed, well furnished and well stocked. The bed was comfortable and nice linens. The public areas such as stairwells and hallways were dirty and needed daily cleaning.

We were very surprised to see how dirty our rooms were. There was other people’s hair in the bathrooms. Did not look like the photos. There was another building being built on the property so where we were put didn’t even look open

Didn’t stay - bed bugs, what I can only assume was poop on the toilet paper roll in the bathroom of our room. Front desk wasn’t helpful so we left and booked another hotel - don’t recommend at all!

Room was dirty with stains on bathroom vanity wall, stains on couch. Room entry door with large gaps. Mattress unacceptable with unevenness and spring noises. Also, the staff mentioned they are going thru a renovation, which we knew that. Avoid and stay with known chain hotels.

The rooms and property are dated which I figured when I booked it. The hotel is in the middle of an exterior upgrade. The issue with the hotel for me was the room was dirty. The sheets were stained. I requested new sheets and had to put them on the bed myself. The common spaces including the elevator was dirty.

Before booking this trip, I noticed a lot of reviews that mentioned lack of cleanliness, or coming off as old-fashioned. I don’t think either are true. Only issue was construction cutting off the shortest route to the building, but I had a great time. Thanks guys! :)

I can’t say anything positive about this property. It was dirty and smelled so incredibly bad! There were bugs and mold everywhere! It is also clear that there are full time residents living here. Overall not a good experience and will not ever be returning!

Confusing directions

I never got to check into my room because when I arrived there at what I thought was before the office closing time there was a sign on the door saying that the office had already closed for the night. It gave confusing directions about going down the parking lot to talk to the attendant if I a key or for registration. The parking lot was huge with many buildings and the nearby one I tried seem to have no relation to the hotel and be some kind of residential place. I never got to check in so I don't know how the rooms really were.

Not what was described online

The room was not what I paid for. I keft and did not even stay overnight. I booked another room at the Doubletree fir less money than at Smart suites. The place was disgusting and i felt it was a homeless shelter. The room did not apoear anything as described in the photos online. I even got an upgraded room,which was horrible, broken chairs outside the window, holes in cabinet doors, filty. This is what i noticed in only 2 minutes of being in the room. I left and would never return.

Kitchen available, we didn't it. The exterior is being updated with new windows and siding. Unfortunately the workers began their shift before 7:30, pounding outside our room. The bed wasn't great, partially collapsed in the middle. But every thing else worked fine. Only 6 guests stayed there when we were there.

Apparently they are closing and so had limited items available, such as no coffee. The room seemed clean, but the rest of the motel did not. They’re renovating. We could’ve been worn ahead of time. She could’ve even told us when we checked in that there wasn’t coffee available and that they were closing. Just was not a good situation and they should not be advertising online.

This property was not at all as advertised. The building looked condemned when we pulled up and there was no sign outside. There was a hotel by the exact same name next door that we originally pulled into which had a nice lobby (much like the pictures on the listing I originally booked) and they told us they didn’t have a reservation for us and we must be at the Smart Suites next door. We were extremely disappointed when we went next door as it was in terrible condition, looked like a run down construction sight, and had no sign. The woman at the front desk was nice enough but the property was in extreme disrepair. Carpets were ripped and dirty, the whole place was musty and the bed was extremely uncomfortable. The sinking bathroom wouldn’t drain and there was no hairdryer (looked like it had been ripped off the wall). Do not recommend!
