I was a little dissapointed in the condition of the room. It was clean, but old looking. The wash cloths were stained and there wasn't a hair dryer nor an iron in the room. The bed was very comfortable. Probably the best sleep I've ever had in a hotel.

The staff was nice however the room was horrible. The floors and walls were filthy. The towels were stained. The toilet was running after every flush. The tv was tiny and didn’t work at first. When I went to call room service, the phone was broken and didn’t work. The staff quickly fixed the tv so at least that was good. Oh and no blow dryer. Totally unsatisfactory especially for the price I paid to stay there. NEVER AGAIN!

Verified traveller

Great service. Not great room.

Room was non smoking but smelt like smoke and all the bed linens had cigarette holes in them and discoloration. Towels were discolored. Was an accessible room and I almost slipped on the flooring multiple times just wearing socks. Bathroom had hair and dead beds all over the floor, counter, and shower floor. Appliances in the room were discolored and dirty and looked like they would start an electrical fire. Zero plugs to charge a phone except in the bathroom were free for use. Could not get comfortable and was afraid to sleep in the covers. Parking lot stayed well lit however many cars came in and out throughout the night where guests and non guests just lingered in the lot chatting. Felt very unsafe. Staff however were very friendly both in the evening and in the morning and I wish the room reflected the same.
