The room that we first got when we checked in smelled strongly like cigarettes. We requested another room and that room didn’t smell like cigarettes, however the room overall didn’t feel that clean. The blinds barely worked and had holes and stains. The bathroom had random red hairs all over it.

Was taken back with how dirty and unkept this property looked. We only stayed one night thank goodness but it didn’t feel clean, carpet was dirty and had to ask for a new room as our first one was really musty. Front desk staff was very nice
