TRASHY
The hotel is trashy. Turned the heat on and smoke alarm went off, water didnt get hot just luke warm, people running above our room all night, people with blunts in their mouth walking through the hotel lobby, groups of people behind the hotel randomly. Tv didnt work. Very noisy. Smells like straight weed.

One of the bed platforms was broken but the staff moved us to a different room. The staff was friendly and the breakfast options were pretty good.

Whoever did the remodel should be sued, lousy work. One door still had the upc label on the trim work.

Disappointing hotel stay
They were renovating the hotel which really needed it. But we were put in a room that was half competed. It looked pretty at first but it wasn’t cleaned properly from the last occupant. The new floors were already dirty looking. The toilet hadn’t changed to a new one and the tub was rusty around the edges.

You get what you pay for
You absolutely get what you pay for. We paid $100 for two queen size beds. Bathroom was absolutely dated/unkept and dirty. Furniture in main area was dirty and surfaces were not properly cleaned.

So gross
This place is soooo gross. Our room didn’t have a comforter, shower curtain, coffee maker, dirty non-swept floors, flickering light in bathroom, overall disgusting. We were put in a different room that wasn’t much better. For the price go somewhere else!!!

This property shows a lack of management. The managers need to spend more time inspecting rooms. Our first night, in the bathroom the ceiling was cracked, moldy, and falling down; the fridge didn’t work, and leg was broken off; the smoke detector chirped every 10 seconds; the gap between the floor and door that led to another room was so big we could see peoples feet as the walked in their room. This hotel could be nice but in it’s current condition and with the lack of management care, I would not stay there again.
