2/10 Poor

Awful!!

Everything was fine until almost 3am. Someone was blasting weird music right outside of our window, they were singing along at the top of their lungs. It was almost 3am and it woke myself and my 10 year old daughter up. Our entire room smelled like marijuana. Do not recommend staying here.

Clean quiet location and outside the little power outage, someone took out a power pole, it was a great stay.

Don’t do it

This hotel was piss poor and dirty as hell
13-night trip

2/10 Poor

Awful service

The bed had hair in it, and both the sheets and comforter were stained. I asked for new sheets and a new comforter. New sheets were provided after a short delay. I was refused a new comforter because, as I was told, there were no extras. Keep in mind that this hotel seemed virtually vacant. Rather than be given a different room (or even a comforter from a different room), I slept with only a set of sheets. The man working the counter seemed cold and indifferent. I would not stay here again.
John, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Not good.

Hotel was in poor condition. There was a security deposit that I was not informed of until check in. The mini fridge had water on the shelves. The shower was barely working. I’d say you get what you pay for, but that would be generous.

It was convenient to get to the National Park. Our air conditioning did not cool the room

Tyler, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

We didn’t even feel safe enough to stay here, we left after someone kept watching us and waited outside our door!!! We didn’t even go in the room! We only needed to stay here one night to sleep and got it because it was cheap and every other hotel was almost 200$ for one night. Trust me pay the 200$ for any other place than here!
Mauricio, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Worst hotel EVER!!!

Room was filthy and had to have it redone. Better, but glad I bought Lysol wipes! Dirty towel behind bathroom door. Another guests garbage on the shower ledge. Broken microwave. Broken door lock. Would not recommend this place to a dying dog.
Michelle, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

They tell you no smoking but the hallways smell terrible, an ash tray. The room was okay. The bathroom, gross. There was hair left over from the last however many people. Other peoples hygine products were left on top of the walk-in shower. The water was luke warm, bathroom sink and shower.
Katelyn, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This was a perfect overnight stop for me! Hot shower, comfortable bed, and a good nights rest as a solo traveler!
Lathaniel, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

**DO NOT STAY IN THIS PLACE** The whole place smells like a strange mixture between drvgs and vomit. The door didn't close from the inside and not to mention the bathroom, which was full of mold. The shower had white particles that we didn't know what it was about. We were only there the time necessary to find a better place to stay. We would NEVER go back.
Celeste, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Staying here for work, has been relatively quiet. Staff is freindly and courteous, building and grounds are clean. Room is spacious and beds are comfortable.

It was close to why we went to portage.
Derick, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

I asked for a second set of sheets to lay on the bed because i was pretty sure mine were dirty and was told they didn't have any but they had large towels I could use. TV remote didn’t have batteries and my shower didn't get warm. Otherwise friendly staff, easy check-in and convenient for the price.
