The pool was closed and never put up notification of that fact on website. The common areas were not cleaned regularly. I was there for 5 days and my room was never cleaned nor was asked for service. The air condition/heater fan was extremely loud and obnoxious.

One guy had two BIG dogs. No doggie bags for people to pick up the poo. I honestly could not find a decent area for my little fur baby to go potty without stepping in the big dogs doo. Very unfortunate. I finally went across the parking lot to let her go.

The wall behind the headboard was covered in dust balls and lint, floors were dirty, comforter and top blanket were dirty, bathroom was clean, but no water pressure, couldn't take a shower, lobby looked nothing like the picture, only had two chairs, pool was nasty looking, parking lot was trashed, even had old abandon truck in lot. The back entrance door didn't lock so anyone could just in, plus the smell of weed through out the building was overwhelming.

Cosmetic needed a little touch up in the room, but nothing overly major. Check in was incredibly simple and fast. I don’t remember her name, but our check in was full of laughter and easiness. Beds were comfy. My son absolutely enjoyed the outdoor pool. No complaints there at all. It was easy to hear the other doors slamming at night, I don’t know if the doors just need touched up or if it was just easy to hear.

Parking lane pitch black, area around outside hotel is kinda deserted and seems run down. Check in man was kinda surly - not a happy person, and not even professionally polite- just seemed bored, not a friendly welcome. Lobby sparse. Overall damp feeling because they have old air conditioning and don’t set it to be cool, just a bit less hot than outside Good ice machine.

Read reviews prior to coming but guess I didn’t do enough “homework” Staff were friendly but not helpful. Upon entering our room, we had bugs all over the floor. I couldn’t tell if small roaches or what type of bugs… but they were everywhere. Might have also had mouse droppings. One of our queen beds had dirty sheets with what appeared to also be bugs. Couldn’t call front desk as room phone was broken- called using my cell- asked front if someone could come sweep/damp mop floors bc of bugs and also asked for someone to re make bed w/ clean sheets. “House keeping is gone for the day”- no apologies or remedies. I had to request all new bedding and ended up taking a bath towel and hot water from tub to mop floor & clean up bugs. Hotel allows smoking and pets.. so it smelled terrible. No water, or coffee in the am- would not stay again.

Not enough towels in bathroom for four people. Room was hot when we arrived because A/C was shut off. Bedding was stained. Mirror over desk was filthy with something smeared all over it so it obviously was not cleaned after last occupants checked out. We had a non smoking room, yet the entire floor including inside our room reeked of marijuana to the point that I was nauseous and unable to sleep well. Not a good experience at all. Would not recommend this property.

Everyone that helped us was amazing. The checkin process was smooth. Receptionist was friendly. And when we needed towels they helped us out. But the hotel needs a very deep clean. The rooms have wood floors and under desk in room was very sticky. Stairs were gross and needed a deep carpet cleaning, windows were dirty, phone was so gross. Room smelled weird upon entrance.

The property was easy to find and very close to restaurants, Kings Island etc. Check in was easy, the staff was friendly and accommodating. The rooms were a nice size, everything worked in the room, and was beds were comfortable. The hallway has a strong smell of smoke and pot which lingered into the rooms. The rooms need updating and a good deep cleaning. There was also an infestation of ants. My husband went to the front desk and someone came a sprayed a few spots on the room but it did not help much. There were ants everywhere, which made it hard to have snacks or drinks out because they would get into it. It also didn't help because my pre-schooler is in a stage where she is scared of every bug. She wouldn't leave the bed.

I need to first recognize the nice lady at the front desk. (I did not catch her name unfortunately) I called while traveling to ask if my son could check in a little early because he had arrived about a hour or so before I did and she said no problem! She was very nice and helpful! The room was clean and beds were comfortable. The building over all is a bit outdated but it suited our needs which was a good night’s sleep and rest after being at Kings Island all day.

I wish I had gotten her name because she was so great and thoughtful of us traveling with young kids (for both our family and other guests). The hotel was clean, comfy, and quiet for being near a busy road. We would definitely use this hotel again!
