The room was old, paint coming off the walls. Noisy exhaust fan in the washroom. Curtains did not close to make the room dark, there was too much light inside the room at night. Breakfast options did not have hot items.

Rooms were very nice and clean. The included breakfast area was pretty standard, however the staff did not seem to be bothered to refill anything (including coffee). When I informed her the coffee was out she just continued to sit in her back room.

The first room we were in had toilet issues and an extremely loud fan noise in bathroom. It also had a strange odor. The next morning we talked to the desk who moved us to another room which was much better. The bathroom fan was quiet and there was no odor.

It was ok. Cleanliness wasn't great, hair in the shower and sink. Broken outlet cover and questionable outlet behind the bed. The check in time on the confirmation said 3:00 but the sign at the hotel said 4:00. When the employee came into the lobby I was able to check in due to my room being ready. Probably wouldnt stay there again.
