Had we known that the hotel was covered in mold, we would have never stayed here with children and an immunocompromised adult. The staff members were not friendly- except for the cleaning staff and the receptionist checking us out. Upon leaving for check out, maintenance man was masked scrubbing mold off the walls in the lobby- Would it not been appropriate to alert guest that that was taking place and re route our exit from our room?

The first night we were told to park in an abandoned, unkempt lot outside of the property as the lot was filled with CONNEX boxes and utility trucks. The room smelled like wet dog and cigarettes. There were stains on the bedsheets, and the A/C smelled strongly of dust when used.

Staff was very rude nearly the entire time. I needed assistance with updating my stay and the person at the front desk was honestly horrible. The room was pretty run down and dirty. Stains everywhere. Super super loud hotel you can hear nearly everything from any room in the vicinity.
