The price was good. The room was clean. The blow dryer didn't work the coffee maker didn't work. The only drink option at breakfast was coffee--no cold water or juice. No bread. Staff unfriendly/unhelpful. The waffle batter dispenser exploded all over my daughter. No one apologized.

I recently stayed at this hotel on March 20th in Room 230, and I had an alarming experience that I cannot overlook. During my stay, hotel staff gave a key to my room to an unverified visitor without my permission or any form of identification. Not only did they provide a key, but they also disclosed my room number to this person. This is an unacceptable security breach that put my safety and privacy at risk. At no point did the staff call my room to confirm whether I had authorized this individual to enter. It is shocking that a hotel would be so careless with guest security. To make matters worse, after bringing this issue to their attention, the hotel refused to refund my deposit—despite their clear negligence. This level of irresponsibility and lack of accountability is disgraceful for any hospitality business. If you value your safety and privacy, stay somewhere else. This hotel clearly does not prioritize guest security, and their unprofessionalism is unacceptable I recently stayed at this hotel on March 20th in Room 230, and I had an alarming experience that I cannot overlook.

Ok for 1 night

Floor dirty so wear socks until bedtime. Pressure in shower nonexistent so showered under a dribble but a little later husband had normal shower pressure. Don't get excited about breakfast, it's just white toast, blueberry mini muffin, 3 types of cold cereal, waffles with syrup. No butter for the toast or waffles. No juice or fresh fruit.

Honestly, i have a very mixed feelings about this hotel. I do travel a lot and stayed at different hotels, but this one was different. First of all i could not check in in a lobby, it wasn't late at all maybe 5 min before 9. Second of all had to talk through small window with no microphone, third of all had to pay $100 secure refundable deposit wich i wasn't aware of. Room was ok , but towel and sheet had pubic hair on it (very disgusting) Please don't relay on breakfast, it looked more like breakfast for homeless (shelter like) Before i checked out , front desk person had to go physically and check our room before releasing our deposit. Will i stay again here? NEVER!!! As i said it was very weird stay.
