After checking in as we are walking to our room on the 2nd floor, 2 guests in the neighboring room were smoking weed out front by the main stairwell. Immediately not ok that this would be allowed in the shared common space. We get into the room and the a/c and heater do not work, there is writing on the wall, tv does not work. It was something out of a bad movie, so ridiculous, the poor conditions and failing basic amenities, it was a joke. After notifying the front desk he came to our room told us the a/c unit needed a charge and would not work. No offer to provide a new room or discount. The tv remote was gone missing, the phone cord to the phone was missing, again we have cell phones but seriously! We stayed one night and left immediately in the morning. Do not even get me started in the “complimentary breakfast”! Would not go back. This was beyond poorly maintained.

It was just ok! Great for the night and for the price. Staff was really friendly! Hotel room had a smell and a kiss mark on the window. Which made me think it might have been used to something else!

Always a good stay,especially for the price. Breakfast isn't as good as it use to be but still better than just pastries. Water took a long time to warm up this stay. Would stay again.

The floor was not clean and had not been cleaned in a long time. Had to unplug the refrigerator that was making an awful noise. The shampoo and body wash containers in the shower were completely empty and the hair dryer started smoking the minute I turned it on.
