So gross

This place is soooo gross. Our room didn’t have a comforter, shower curtain, coffee maker, dirty non-swept floors, flickering light in bathroom, overall disgusting. We were put in a different room that wasn’t much better. For the price go somewhere else!!!

The front desk ladies were very kind and friendly. The beds, and mirrors were the only things clean. The floors were very dirty and the carpet was ragged and frayed. The bathroom and entry floor hadn’t been swept or mopped. The sink counter had mold around the seams. There was no shower curtain. The tub had several hairs and dirty shoe prints. There were pieces of hardware missing. The walls and cabinets were splattered and dirty. The microwave was unsafe to use. It was broken inside. We were late to get to our military graduate and weren’t able to get anything else. I don’t think I’ve ever spend so much money on a hotel and the room be so dirty and unkept. The area around the hotel did not seem safe. There was noise all night. The breakfast was nice and clean.

I should have heeded the warnings of the other reviews. It smelled like "natural herbs" as soon as i walked in. I know you can't control who your guests are but i think the hotel and area attracts a certain type. I felt like i was at a halfway house.

No bugs but very dirty

Building and room was very dirty. Service was ok, only one staff member seemed moody all other staff were very friendly. Not a terrible experience but probably won't choose this hotel during future trips due to the lack of cleanliness. I had photos to upload but it won't let me add them.

No hot water from the shower because it wasn't installed correctly, plenty hot from sink. Couldn't take showers for the gymnastics meet. Indoor pool was closed, which was main reason we chose this location.

Never will I book this hotel again! The hotel room was dirty upon arrival and the entire hotel smell horribly of marijuana. I had to ask for the shower curtain and towels as they were not provided in the room. I also had to buy air fresheners and cleaning products to make the room decent enough for my complete stay. Such a horrible experience with cleanliness and sanitation. The staff was polite and that was about the only good thing about it.

My room was in a non-smoking area but there was a strong smell of pot in the hall the whole time. The patrons were noisy and slamming doors all night. There were people hanging around outside when I arrived liked around the dumpster at the neighboring restaurant. The bed sheet had a hole in it. The room floor and walls were dirty. The general maintenance of the room was poor. The room door was open when I went to it the first time and the toilet seat was up.
