For how much you have to pay to stay here the Hotel is not worth it. We stayed on the fifth floor and there was already an odor in the main hallway. The room had a musty cigarette odor, all likely coming from the old carpet. It made you wonder how clean the bed sheets were. The bathroom sink was leaking water onto the counter from the faucet base and the shower looked questionable. The rooms are in desperate need for updates and remodels. Won't be staying here again.

When we arrived to the property the toilet in our room wouldn't flush properly before we even took our bags off the cart. We also had a stain on the bedding We called to change rooms and they said they were sold out. They sent someone who used a tool to make it work again but he dripped toilet water all over our floor. We requested for someone to come clean the floor they said no one was available until morning. We had two towel sets for 4 people staying. We requested more towels and was told there were no more we would have to wait until morning. We kept checking in that evening and they had more washed and available. We checked in after 5 pm. Later that night the AC stopped working and it was very hot. We also noticed there were a bunch of random bugs in the room flying around. It was a very unpleasant stay.

Desk was never staffed, there is a bell you have to ring then wait several minutes for someone to show up. There is no friendly greeting or smile, they just do what they need to do. The room had some type of colored food stain or wax on the carpet inside the door and running down the wall by the door. Lighting was very dim, too dim to read by. Bathroom light was missing it’s cover. There was a steady leak behind the tub spout and mold on and above the shower. The toilet didn’t completely flush leaving visible waste.There was barely enough toilet paper for the weekend stay and there was no shampoo. Housekeeping never came to clean or restock. Biggest issue: we woke up the first morning to no hot water. We were told at 3pm it had been fixed but by 4 pm only had barely warm water to do an uncomfortable splash to wash off. Staff offered to move us to the first floor which had hot water but it was a much smaller bed and room which didn’t fit our needs so we couldn’t move) (we booked a king bed suite). Staff said nothing they could do other than give us the manager’s business card. Will never book this hotel again.

The young man working the night shift had no personality. He slowly came from the back when we arrived, around 10pm, didn’t greet us didn’t really say much. Was very slow at checking us in. This was the end of a 6 day journey that started in California & we travelled through 9 states so we were extremely tired. On the way to the elevator my daughter accidentally dropped a soda bottle that broke & spilled everywhere. The guy came very very slowly over & without shoes and hands in his jacket pockets literally just stood there staring blankly. He didn’t do anything or say anything. My daughter & I were picking up the pieces of glass and he did nothing. Later the next morning I saw it had been cleaned up but not very well, there were large spots all over. My sheets on my bed had stains on them and the bathroom faucet leaked so I had to put a towel down to soak up all the water. Then gal on day 2 was very pleasant & friendly, super nice. Day 3 a new round man was also very friendly & nice.
The first guy needs to not be working in customer service as he just has no personality & isn’t friendly & doesn’t say anything.

They did not honor the rate offered by Expedia and we had to rebook on the spot, and it cost us about $15 extra. Plus, we had to pay the entire stay AGAIN, so we are due a refund from Expedia. We also suspect that the clerk, while friendly and polite, didn’t seem to know what to do about the Expedia reservation issue. The Room: the first one was dirty and the HVAC was broken. Replacement room had burned out light bulbs and a HVAC fan that made intermittent screeching noises. A very strong, heavy, “men’s cologne” permeated throughout the lobby area, nauseating both of us. I do not know how this property could rate an 8 or higher!

Also soap dispensers were empty sheets were all static as if they didn’t even know about Static cling on how to get rid of it. Shower pressure was horrible.

The staff here is very accommodating. The bar is small but good; we were confused by the breakfast menu and pricing. Two different options and prices for the same menu items you would receive complimentary at other hotels at this price point. The furniture, pillows and especially the bathrooms are in need of a serious update. It all seemed as tired as I was after our busy weekend! Our bathroom had some mold issues. The lobby had some filthy chairs. There are some restaurants within walking distance. They serve “dinner” in the lobby, but only one option all weekend. The snack area was well stocked and had good variety. Has some nice seating outside, but no umbrellas like seen in the hotel photos.

Check in was fine. I had a dinner to go to last night so I didn’t spend a lot of time until I return back from dinner. I went to use the bathroom and I was shocked about the conditions of the shower!!!! I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. It look like construction was going on with the yellow caution tape. I figure I would just take a bath. I turned on the hot water and nothing. Lukewarm at best. I called down to the front desk and the rep asked me questions then he said he would have maintenance take a look at it. I waited. No response. I tried the water again it was still cool to lukewarm. I couldn’t take a shower or a bath and now I will have to take a shower a Planet Fitness before I get back on the road. No one at the front desk ever called me back to say anything. I was too frustrated to say anything this morning once I checked out because I would have not been too nice. I have stayed at this location before and didn’t have any issues. But I won’t stay again.

Not terrible but not spectacular. Clean but not immaculate. Definitely a dated property for the price - fixtures and furniture were a little older, floor tiles were damaged and there was mold in the shower - all which I’m assuming are results of being outdated. This is a great place to stay if you’ve only stumbled upon it on a time crunch, but definitely not a vacation-level stay.

The hotel itself is very clean and modern. The beds were comfortable. The reason I gave it four stars instead of five is for a couple reasons. The main reason would be that breakfast is not included. For the price of the rooms I feel like it should be. I've been at much cheaper hotels with breakfast included. Also the shower head was really crappy. Other than that the hotel was very nice as long as you don't care about eating in the morning.
