Run down, OK for a quick stop over in Kzoo.
Welcoming staff.
But the hotel is very run down. Broken and loose tiles in bathroom, chipped toilet seat. Stained bed covers. The stairs and hallways carpet floor, stained and eroded.
Breakfast was reasonably good.
For a quick stay it made its role.

The parking lot is extremely small, other than that I'd give an excellent rating.

The room served its purpose as a place to sleep for a 1-day trip but I would not stay there for an extended period of time.

I was in town for a conference. The property is old but clean, breakfast was fine every morning (always eggs and a choice of meat), the staff was helpful. I would stay there again.

The location was perfect for us. But the walls are paper thin and it was stinky, outdated and did not feel clean.

This motel was the closest to an event that I attended for the lowest price I could find. Check-in and check-out were quick and easy. I found all the things I needed in my room for my one night stay.

Place is a dump. Dirty room, broken furniture, cob webs all over the ceiling, and dirty bedding. We left and went to another hotel.

The staff were very friendly and welcoming. The rooms and facilities were quite clean. It was close to the university where I was visiting. The breakfast was also quite good. I will be returning.
