Glad to check out!

We arrived late in the eve. but I did notice the carpet was dingy and dirty. The next morning in the light of day I noticed how run down the room was. Peeling ceilings,moldings, etc. No one was allowed to take off their shoes!! When I was brushing my teeth at the sink I felt like my legs were getting wet. I looked underneath the sink and saw it was leaking quite a bit. Very disappointed!!

Attending Wedding

Rooms were cold, bathroom toilet was very low, like made for the kids, smell of urine in the bathroom, charge of $15.00 for extra rollaway bed to bring it to the room (was not told earlier), what a rip off, looking at the torn ceilings could not sleep on the extra bed, due to the springs poking into the body, end up sleeping on the Hotel floor. we have booked 10 rooms. for a sleepless night. every one in our group was not happy, never again. Thanks...Mubarik

Stinky rooms

Even though we picked a "non-smoking" room, our room had that heavy smoking smell which gave us a huge disgust and cigarette burns all over the carpet and bathroom tub. The next day we changed our room but the same smell seems to be stuck at every inch of this hotel. the location is terrible too.

Nice hotel

Staff was friendly and helpful. My room was clean and well maintained. It was obvious that this is an older hotel that has been refurbished but it has been well done. The only concern that I had was the squeaks and rumbles of the elevators. They may not be unsave but they definately need some adjustments and new parts to run smoothly and quietly.
