Shauna

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Probably the grossest hotel I’ve ever stayed in. I always bring my own bedding and pillows on the road and I was sure glad I did when we arrived at this S**t hole. The staff was at least pleasant, but the facilities were in condemnable conditions. I would recommend buying a tent and sleeping outside with the wildlife before I would tell someone to stay here. It was absolutely disgusting.
The ceiling was literally falling on us our entire stay. Asbestos anyone?!
Ceiling was falling apart and could tell they had used Killz to cover up all the mold that had collected over the years.
The tub had soap scum and stains all over it
It was like they hadn’t vacuumed in a year

Solo travelled and it was very safe. Old hotel but great location (4 min. drive/15 min. walk to Idaho Central Arena and downtown). Wi-Fi was consistent. Sink hot water didn't work but there were two sinks so I just used the other sink. The balcony door had a makeshift lock. Front and cleaning staff were very friendly. Old rooms but great location and a great price.
