Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
This is the grossest hotel. First there was a horrible odor, the rooms do not ave blinds that close just sheer curtains that lets light in and people can see through. The sink in the bathroom did not have hot running water and the rugs and furniture are filthy. The toilet seat is cracked and chipped. The whole place is very worn.

Great location. Nice rooms but the carpet had debris on it and the breakfast was meagre at best. This morning there weren't any utensils or plates out!

Avoid this hotel. Aside from the main entrance, it was filthy. Despite a quiet weekend, staff refused to empty our trash because we missed a 9 AM deadline—by just an hour. To top it off, our bathtub didn’t drain. Disappointing stay.

Did not realize that pets were allowed. I love dogs but there must have been one close to us. He kept barking starting around 5am. Almost as if no one was in the room with him. That only lasted one morning. The hotel shows it's age. Needs to be rejuvenated.
