We received a text shortly after checking in asking how things were, I explained that our door was very hard to close and it slammed shut, waking our daughter several times. I was told I’d get a response shortly and it’s been about a week and nothing. The shower also was very slow to drain so you stood in water for a good portion of the shower, our room was supposed to be cleaned every 3 days… we were there for 7 nights and it was only cleaned once, we had trash cans over flowing and ran out of shampoo and conditioner (we had to ask for soap as there was none on check in)

The property was really not what we were expecting for what we paid. The entire building shakes from traffic, the walls are paper thin, it sound like someone is trying to get into your room 24/7, front staff was not friendly whatsoever either time we spoke with them, the elevator sounds like it's seconds from breaking.. rooms are incredibly small for what we paid. Bathrooms look like they came out of a cheap motel. Just all around a real disappointment. Won't be staying at one of these again.

We have stayed at this property several years ago, and while it was showing its age at that time, we don't recall it being as unclean as our recent visit. Unfortunately, the carpet was quite dirty, to the point where I felt it necessary to wear slippers to avoid staining my feet. Additionally, the cleanliness of the space left much to be desired, making for an uncomfortable experience. We also encountered issues with noise, including doors slamming until early morning. In this day and age, it's challenging to approach other guests about keeping the noise down. Overall, I would suggest that the management focus on improving cleanliness and soundproofing to enhance the guest experience, as this would make a significant difference for future visitors expecting a minimum standard of comfort.
