I’ve stayed at this hotel many times now, apparently they are rebranding later this year, but none of the staff could offer any details and no one could give me any information as to when I could book rooms after May 1 this year. My one complaint lis that the most of the outlets in the bathrooms are striped. in the bat

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Room smelled bad and bathroom was stinky. Water leaked from the tub. Rusty hinges, and dirt accumulated in the corners. Overall disgusting cleanliness level.Two queen suite did not feel like a suite at all but rather a small room crammed with furniture. Breakfat quality was terrible, and so was customer service. Do not recommend at all.
