There was damage in the room (holes in the wall, shelf falling down), and when reported the staff said “ok, I will let the manager know” but there was no effort to fix it or offer to move to another room. The staff seemed nice but not very helpful. For example we asked for towels several times (we only had 2 in the room) and never got them. Also, the breakfast was disappointing and the pool was very cloudy to the point you couldn’t see the bottom.

At check in the lady was just doing her job. Nothing more. Not really friendly or welcoming. The room itself was pretty nice. Recently redone. The hall though had a really bad odor. The jets in the hot tub didn’t work. The pool was ok until they drained it during our stay with no notice or explanation. There were a couple missing windows which anyone could just come into the building through.

Bloo

All the top floor window screens were broken, the counter tops were dirty, the bathroom sink had blood on it, the pillows had dirt on them, the bed smelled like a sweaty armpit, the bathroom shower was slippery, the safety vision door button had toilet paper stuffed in it, the neighbors were very loud. The front desk checkout people were outside cat calling me at a picnic table in the parking lot.

The hotel isn't clean, needs urgent renovations inside and out, there is no elevator and the front desk was not polite. That's for $400 a night something.

Disappointing stay

Outdoor locking was leaning against side of building, leaving access to anyone who wants to enter the building. Room across hall from ours had an over-flowing trash bag sitting next to it when we checked in and it remained there when we checked out. Veery below average property.

This was a one night stay to be close to a concert venue. The property outside has not been kept up, the entrance door is propped up and sitting next to the the entrance. the grass had not been cut, the outside has not been maintained. The carpets we not vacumed in the hallway. The room itself was clean. there was cups and coffee packs but no coffee maker, the bed was comfortable. There was no hot water for a shower. the breakfast was just cereal and oatmeal, juice and coffee and tea but only served on weekends. I would not stay here again, not worth the price.

This place is directly out of the inter-city of Deli. We spent four nights here, and this is what we experienced: I had to yell at the manager to get our room cleaned. No clean towels, the fire alarm was pulled out of the ceiling, the front desk person refused to get the manager, window screens were falling out of the windows, parking was very tight, I had to call the front desk to get the instructions on operating the television. Unless you plan on checking in late evening and checking out early morning, I would highly recommend finding another place.

Check in went fine. The room had a smell that irritated my allergies. The refrigerator was old and the microwave had a broken/missing handle. Didn’t want to stay so we checked out early. Bathroom did not have shampoo, only conditioner. Overall rating for this property is very poor
