I rarely leave reviews, but my experience at this hotel was so disappointing I feel like people should be warned. I had to switch rooms twice during my stay. The first room reeked of cigarette smoke even though it was supposedly non-smoking. The second room had mystery brown stains on the door, which was not only disgusting but also made me question the cleanliness of the entire place. The final room wasn’t much better. I found bugs crawling on the floor, and at that point I was too tired to complain again. Clearly, housekeeping and management don’t prioritize cleanliness or comfort. I expected at least a clean, smoke-free room. This was honestly one of the worst hotel experiences I’ve ever had. I will not be coming back and do not recommend this place to anyone.

DO NOT stay here. The staff was friendly, but the place was a dump. The only good thing was the bed. We have several.lamps in the room but inly one worked. We teied to charge our phones but none of the outlets worked. There was a regular si ed window and then a ceiling to floor window and they both had roll up shades, not curtains. If you wamyed light you had to roll them up and it was like you were in a fish bowl on display. The TV worked, but it had no guide channel so you could see whats on. The tv channel guide in the binder in the room was not accurate at all. The channel up and down button didnt work on the remote. I called the front deska d they didnt have guides, they had no cluebwhat channel if aby the guide w as on, nor could he yell.me what channels they got. I literally had to put in each channel with the number buttons until I found a channel that wasnt static. The tub looked like the last person there died their hair bright pink. The tub and sides were all stained pink, and with lines of what you could tell was hair that had fallen out and sat there. The only light in the sink area was a very dim light around the mirror. Good luck putting on your makeup. I made a comment tot husband that at least the floor wasnt sticky, but then we spilled water on the floor and I stepped in it, walked to the bathroom barefoot to get a towel, stepped on a towel going in, and left a BLACK footprint on the towel. The floor was freaking nasty dirty like they neverrrrr clean it.

Upon arrival to our room (227) I reached for the blind pull and discovered it was dripping wet. It had been raining and apparently there was a leak. A glance showed the leak had been going on some time as mold clearly growing above window and water damage all the way around the drywall. Hair on the toilet seat and around bathroom floor, Hard floors are great but need to be mopped occasionally. Ours were truly filthy. Random drips and spills between beds had dried. I used a washcloth to clean it up and it was instantly black from the floor. Same with the bathroom. I can’t imagine how long it had been since they had been in our room. The light in the vanity area was so dim we had to use the bathroom light. Beds were fine and appeared clean. Husband said front desk man was friendly. Based on room condition we didn’t want to try breakfast.

I got a room for 2 nights. The AC sounded like a freight train and I wasn’t able to sleep, the cupboard doors in the “kitchen” were coming off and the toilet need a good scrub. I asked for a different room for the second night. The sink wouldn’t drain, again, the toilet could have been cleaner and there was a dead cockroach in the tub, but the AC was quiet. The breakfast bar is mostly Ok—a bit spare and the eggs are an abomination. The bathroom by the breakfast room was not clean and poorly maintained.
