Stayed here for a conference. Staff not clear in their communications or helpful in general. Tried to charge me for early check in when I had paid for the night begore so that I could check in. Room was cold.

The bathroom needed a good scrubbing. The carpet was old and stained. The “premium bedding” was frayed and stained. Took forever to get hot water. Very disappointed for the price.
