I had a mediocre at best experience. First room I got was absolutely disgusting. Liquid (coffee or a dark soda) was spilled all down the wall. The bathroom was completely unacceptable and there were dead bugs. They did try to make it right by letting me move to a different room and crediting the first nights state. The second room was at least a bit better. Still subpar cleaning. Still had mold in the corners of the bathroom shower but at least this time it wasn’t in the area your feet touch. The sink wouldn’t drain properly so liquids just kept sitting in there. This also happened in the shower. There was also mascara on the mirror which is not a big deal but shows the housekeeping level. I also found it to be very cold in there because the windows aren’t air tight (just an old building thing) so I turned the heat on. They came in and did the housekeeping stuff while I was gone one day and changed the thermostat so it was freezing when I got back. I was a bit disappointed there wasn’t any food option in the hotel but that’s on me for not thinking to look at that when booking.

The hotel is older, when we got to our room, the room was not cleaned. It was stains everywhere and the room had a smell. We ended up moving to another room, that one was a little better. The staff were nice and kind. It’s extremely noisy, but that’s expected staying on a main street.

otel was in a decent location, though older. Room was older and not well cleaned (rust dripping from soap dispenser, shower head, and bathroom mirror), cobwebs in the room, and carpet had stains with significant wear-and-tear… Issues with payed parking where workers parked in dedicated guest parking during the daytime- requiring to tell front desk staff several times for them to mitigate the issue. Was given room in first floor, so street was very noisy- would have preferred higher level to avoid early morning awakenings. In all, the hotel was fine but considering other hotels in the area charge the same for much better amenities and newer/cleaner rooms, would not return or recommend this hotel.

Broken items and run down furniture. The surrounding area is the city, nothing to do w hotel but trash everywhere. Homeless fentanyl kids around the corner(harmless) but part of the surrounding area. Staff friendliness hit or miss. Check in time is late 4 pm and don’t follow this. Room smelled like food. They did go out of their way to provide me with a birthday tray/ treats. That was sweet, but overall I won’t be staying there again, out dated place.

The showers desperately needed some RMR mold remover. Not enough trash cans in the suite. No smart TV. Sofa bed was uncomfortable for the kids (could feel the bars). Only had 3 towels for a 4 person room.
