YUCK! $300 for a room that made my skin crawl!

Tv had to manually changed and turned on/off, a/c until couldn’t keep up in 75 degree weather and was hotter in the room then outside, the curtains were about ready to fall off the wall, the ceiling was flaking off into the floor, the bathroom was filthy dirty and didn’t notice it until I sat down to go to the bathroom. The TV remote was also sticky. The room itself was just very poorly maintained and instead of trying to keep things in good shape they tried to solve the problem with slapping some paint over it. I would have been better off staying in our vehicle. We absolutely deserve our money back. $300 was way the hell over priced. We slept in our clothes and literally left as soon as we woke up. I will NEVER go back. I felt so dirty and guilty about having my kids stay in that hotel also.
Stained curtains, ac unit was about ready to fall off the wall, and couldn’t maintain the room. It was hot as hell.
Hallway right outside our room with stained floor and beer in the hallway
Everything is chipped and dirty
So dirty and gross

Bed was comfy but dirty and smelly room and carpet. The elevator did not work and was given the 3rd floor. The front desk was helpful in helping take luggage to the 3rd floor. Food was average and coffee was great tasting.

What a dump! This hotel needs to be bulldozed. We were stuck there because there was a convention in town and we couldn’t find anything better – what a waste of money and what a horribly maintained hotel. Everything was broken and dirty and smelly - the air smelled stale- elevator was broken. The ice machine was broken. Outside the landscaping was a mess with garbage and there was a parking spot with a missing shuttle – i.e. they gave up on offering a shuttle years ago. The walls were paper thin we could hear everything in every adjacent room. The neighborhood was also pretty bad. Stay away from this hotel. The only redeeming factor was the gentleman at the reception desk was very nice and very friendly. I hope he can find another job at another nicer hotel because anyone else would be lucky to have him.

Bad experience

Hotel was horrible. We had to move to three different rooms. The first room there was problems with the air conditioner. The second room smell like wet carpet and the third room they sent us to was still getting cleaned by someone that couldn’t speak English so we had to sit out in the lobby and wait for our room. The ice machine upstairs don’t work. The elevator didn’t work. It was just a really bad experience and of course, I didn’t get any money back or any type of credit

The room ceiling was very old. The paint was ripping off and had stains on the ceiling. The bathroom had no sink. First time I went to a hotel and the bathroom had no sink. The bedroom had half carpet and half without carpet. the room I will rate a 2 out of 5. But the staff was friendly and the breakfast was decent.

Stay somewhere else

The whole place is run down and dark. It’s one of the worst places I’ve stayed. Not well maintained. Everything in disrepair The arrangement of our suite made no sense. Very few outlets in inconvenient places, same for lights. We had to unplug the clock to charge our phone by the bed. The only other accessible outlet was in an alcove with the couch. The couch faced a sink and cabinet in terrible condition. It looked like an area for mixing drinks in a seedy motel. The curtains were broken. There were 2 air conditioners and 1 didn’t work so the room was too warm. I found it disturbing there were cameras everywhere and at check in you can see the monitor and view of every camera. The room was very clean but because it looked so run down (the room and the whole place) I felt really uncomfortable . The ratings I saw when I booked the place (7 of 10) did not match my experience. It was disappointing.

Not my greatest stay. Room was clean, but the property was very used. Everything was old. I got a room at the airport for $30 less on my return through town and it was 10 times the value.

The staff is very friendly but otherwise I would avoid this property- the room smelled like dog, which would have been fine, it is a pet friendly hotel, what was NOT fine was the large patches of black mold in the bathroom.This place triggered my asthma so bad that I ended up having to go to the ER before I could continue my trip.

This property is not good at all, there was active construction in the property and elevator was not working. This should have been told in advance while booking by expedia. Room was clean but lobby, hallway and stairs were just filthy. Hotel was not in good location also, seemed unsafe. People were having parties in parking lot in the evening every day. Breakfast buffet was so wasteful, for example each bread toast was double wrapped in cling wrap. Also AC was so noisy. Only thing decent was size of the room and overall cleanliness of the room was not bad, could be better but rooms were not terrible.

I liked that it was a short distance to downtown. It was a nicely kept, clean facility. The outside pool area was really nice. There could have been more options on the breakfast buffet. They could at least switch it up a bit rather than having the same thing every day. Other than that it was definetly worth the money and I'd stay there again.

The elevator has been out now for over 3 1/2 weeks. I have been staying here on a weekly basis since the beginning of May I had individual knock on my door at 6:30 in the morning that was not a hotel guest. The customer service I can say has been great and accommodating
