I arrive at 8:00 am because my flight was delayed I checked in for a 2 night stay. I made it until 4:00pm. I checked out because it was so bad. Carpet was dirty and stained, I found garbage on the floor that was not cleaned up. Shower was old scratched and rusted. Molding falling off the wall. I did not expect a lot for what I paid but I did expect clean. It was worth the loss of the 2 nights I paid and the d yea I paid for a new hotel to leave early.

I liked that it's close to my relatives. I didn't like the noisy air conditioner on the ceiling. The grout in the bathroom is dirty (poorly applied). No elevator! I had to manage a huge suitcase to the second floor. The staff was ok (no complaints). I cancelled my reservation after one night.

Do not stay here

This entire stay was a disaster. I knew it was older and outdated bc of the photos, but given we didn’t have many options bc of weekend event in the area, it wasn’t a big deal. At first glance, it looked ok. Beds were made and it wasn’t terrible. I walked into the bathroom and it was obvious it had not been cleaned. There was hair all over the bathtub and on the shower walls. The toilet did not flush. There was an insanely annoying buzzing sound about every minute that went on all night in or around the desk. (We looked but could not find where it was coming from.) The tv was glitching and remote did not work so it stayed on all night. (Idk why I didn’t just think to unplug it—that was my fault, but should I even have to?) I asked for a different & clean room, the man said they did not have any other rooms. I asked him to come and clean the bathroom. He showed up 10 mins later with a plastic glove, removed SOME of the hair, and no cleaning supplies. The wall was stained with hair color from hair left there. I asked him to properly clean & not just remove the hair, and all he kept saying was “Sorry, ma’am.” After a horrible nights rest bc of buzzing sound, I went to the front desk to check out & discuss all the issues. While discussing, another lady approached as well saying their bathroom was equally as dirty with hair all over it. We bought baby wipes so we would not have to shower there. There wasn’t any effort to make anything right. Pay the extra $ and stay elsewhere!

Stayed 3 nights. No housekeeping the day after first night and was told by management that all housekeeping staff had quit. False fire alarm on the third night with no intervention with management to the guests and the hotel was far from being full. Condition of room was just okay and the mattress was old and very uncomfortable. Would mot stay at this hotel again.

The room looks like it had recently been renovated but gave a dirty feeling since messes hadn't been picked up up during renovation, ie paint spots on the floors/bedding. Also had dirty towels hanging behind the bathroom door from the previous guest. The staff we did encounter were polite and accommodating.

Worst hotel ever

Arrived after 4pm, room was not ready needed to wait. The room was filthy and stunk. The tv had direct Tv and inly 1 channel worked, front desk came to check it , he couldn’t fix it and left, also there was a plastic bag taped over the smoke alarm and when I mentioned it he did t seem to care. We then told him we were not staying and wanted to cancel and get a refund.

Stone age stay

Listing indicated that there would be laundry facilities, but the very rude desk attendant declared that there were none. There was no elevator for those of my party that had accessibility needs. And the customer service agent was condescending and misogynist toward our female party members who did breakfast was also dried out and or stale
