If window faces highway it can get noisy. Hotel smells of smoke in hallways and seemed to detect a hint of urine on the first floor. No coffee maker in room. Elevator broken "for foreseeable future." Despite issues, stay was better than expected, did not hear any noisy guests. Improve your amenities and replace carpeting.

Did not like it at all! The whole hotel smelled like marijuana and in the reception area someone was passed out on the coach. The room was not clean. The bed sheets had cigarette ash and found a blonde hair on it. There were webs under the tv console and handprints on the ceiling above one of the beds. Walked right out and stayed somewhere else. Don’t stay unless you want to inhale second-hand marijuana smoke and sleep on a filthy bed.

Eh.....

We asked for a no smoking room. We did not get.that. the entire floor smelled of smoke and pot. Breakfast was fine. We really did not eat here. There were no screens on the windows. It was WAY more expensive for what we were getting just because of the event going on that weekend. Will not go back

We did not enjoy the bathroom from above leaking into our bathroom through the vent and also water bubbling up through the wall behind our toilet. The carpets were always dirty and the continental breakfast had very little.

Very heavy smoke smell is embedded in everything, even though we had a non-smoking room. We had to keep the windows open all 3 days we were there, and the windows on the third floor did not have anything aside from the glass itself (no mesh). This meant bugs were able to come in and we suffered a lot of mosquito bites. Upsides: staff at the front desk were great and we liked that breakfast was included.
