The hotel was attempting a renovation however it was quite dirty. There was trash everywhere at breakfast. Hair was all over the bathroom floor. And every fixture needed a good wipe off. Rooms were average but had no cover over the duvet cover. It was gross.

Friendly and helpful staff. Clean and nice decor around the building. Breakfast and room did not match the pictures. No pastries, muffins, danish, or bagels available for breakfast. No cut strawberries or cups of fresh fruit just apples and oranges. The room had no closet, one chair, and one table.

I booked two rooms. My room had a stain on the carpet. It was late so we just went to sleep. Woke up the next morning and found the same color stain on our blanket. Then the sink wouldn't drain. My dad was in the other room and his bed felt like a box spring not an actual mattress.

Our room was not ready at the posted check-in time. We waited in the lobby for an hour and we were never told a room was ready but when I went to the counter they checked us right in. The room was tiny. The bathroom was a shower and commode, with a lavatory outside in the room. There were 4 coat hooks by the lavatory to hang coats and towels, it no closet and nowhere to put luhhage except on the crowded floor.
