Very dirty hotel! Bed Bugs? Roaches?Woke up with bites!! (both of us) Took pictures and showed the front desk. She said management would contact us. Of course no one has contacted us. Breakfast was inedible and disgusting. I dreaded having to come back to the hotel at night.

The coffee machine, hot water machine was broken. I was told to put water in the microwave which did not have the glass plate in it, in order to put my cup in I had brought from home so no tea for me. 2 days we went down and they did not have eggs and that it might take 20 minutes before they were ready. We were on a schedule, so we didn't get to eat.

This property was a disappointment. There was food from the previous guests in the refrigerator, the handle was missing from one of the bathroom’s French doors, and the latch on the door to the room was loose, which made us feel unsafe. Stay somewhere else, you’ll be happier.

The room was clean, but the shower in the bathroom was very wore out. No extra toilet paper, I had to go to the lobby to get more. Awful bed, the phone didn't work, room very noisy. The staff in breakfast area were not very nice, but the ladies at the reception area were friendly and helpful. The only good thing about the hotel is the location. I won't stay there again.

The foom was clean but dated a bit. The main issue i had was the road noise with motorcycles and cars reving there engines on the street until 2:30 AM. This is a location issue more than a room issue but in the end it prevented me from getting a good nights sleep so it is relevant. Maybe it would have been better for rooms in the back of the property. I would suggest that for anyone planning on staying in this hotel.

The location was convenient and there was plenty of parking. Most staff was very nice, check-in person wasn't too friendly. They don’t give you fresh towels, didn't even leave enough toilet paper. Very noisy- people yelling, loud cars speeding by. Would not stay here again.

Loud and broken

Didn’t eat breakfast. Towel rack in bathroom was broken and kept falling off the wall. Mattress was conclaves rolling you towards the middle. No towels in the room. VERY noisy out in front of the building. Walls very thin. Could hear everything in other rooms. Air conditioner was VERY loud. I didn’t sleep much despite my efforts.

The bathroom was dusty on fixtures and shower curtain ripped and hanging. There were no coffee pots for coffee and staff said they were broken. The lobby dark and staff sitting doing personal things on computer and at one time a gentleman was sleeping at the table. The elevator inspection out of date April 2025, fire extinguishers last checked November 2020. Ice makers broken and dirty and blinking red. Staff in room watching tv leaning on dresser with no name tags and smoking in breezeway. Appeared to be a “friend” coming out of a room in her pajamas to go to the car to get some clothes.
