Disgusting and rude

First, we pulled in and there was a guy standing in the parking lot panhanding and another had his vehicle up on a jack fixing it in the parking lot. Front lobby bathroom was disgusting, had to clean seat before sitting, there was a gap in the stall stuffed with TP. The receptionist was lazy and rude. There was an alarm going off the entire time we was in the lobby and all she had to do was walk over and hit a button for it to shut off, she'd rather sit there. Did not stay after this, we found accommodations elsewhere.

The night we came in the lady at the front desk was nice. Bkfast was disappointing. The room smelled stuffy and like cigarette smoke. The air conditioner didn’t work properly. We checked out early. No eye contact by the person on checkout. The lady that checked up in the night we arrived should train the other staff on customer service. Don’t think I will return to that location.

The reservation was made for a room with two beds. Upon arrival I was issued a room with ONE double bad. When I questioned the reservation I was informed I can upgrade for additional $50+ The room had a ceiling leak in the bathroom that I reported to the front dest . Later that evening , the bathroom toilet stoped flushing and becouse of the late hour I had to fix it myself. I never experience such a stay .

Upon first impression, our room looked nice and updated but soon after noticed several things that needed attention. For example a broken bathroom door, moldy looking caulking around tub, somewhat broken looking drawers on the kitchen cabinets. Also wasn't as soundproof as expected. Beds seemed clean and comfortable though. Staff was great and breakfast was as expected.

The staff had made a mistake on our stay, by skipping a night and I tried explaining to the person at the desk, why would I stay and then skip a night? She had to talk to the manager who was the one I had talked to on the phone before she believed me. We have been staying here since 2022. I have never got into an argument with anyone in a place of business, but that young woman was rude and belligerent to no end. I was charged and I wanted my money back. She even threatened me with the police. I left and I called corporate, and my money was returned. That person needs to be fired. What was funny, she recognized me from being there 2 weeks earlier! I will never stay there again. Think twice.

Worst stay ever. The older lady who worked days was very rude. Zero room service. When asked about garbage removal from our room, we were told to tie it up and take to the dumpster on the side of the building. We were only allowed 2 towels a piece, no more. Even with no room service, we never had towels replaced, but had to take dirty towels to front desk to replace with clean towels. Breakfast was ok. Eggs, I think, were powdered. However, no heater to keep the eggs and meat warm. Milk was not cold, serviced in a pitcher without ice, had to request cold milk. Talked to manager. She "seemed" to be not happy about the report of the front desk person, yet, still received rude looks the next morning. Not going back any time soon.
