2/10 Terrible

Braydn

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort

Terrible all around

Our room was very poorly maintained. We found ants throughout the space, the bathroom had cracked tiles, and the bath faucet was coming off the wall. There was no shower curtain, so every time we used the shower, the entire bathroom flooded. Housekeeping was lacking during our three-night stay. Towels were only replaced once, and essentials like toilet paper and shampoo were never restocked. The room was not serviced at all—no beds made or cleaning done. To top it off, the iron provided was unusable and left a large stain on my white shirt. Overall, we were very disappointed with our experience.
