The bathrooms had mold along the edges and the water did not drain properly in one bathtub. The couch and chair were stained, dirty, and worn. The kitchen chairs covered in fake leather were worn and coming off of all of the chairs. I would not stay here again. The carpet in part of the facility was covered in duct tape.

The room smelled a little like they needed to air out the room . We found toe nails by the living space couch . I had to place towels under the couch cushions because there was a major dip. The couch smelled funky and it was dirty I had to place a bed sheet over it because I didn’t want to sit on it . During our stay the staff was pleasant but definitely need to step it up in the cleaning not just cover the smell with air fresher the curtains were also very dirty has water stains .

Poor cleanliness and liars!

The room smelled of smoke because the person sleeping in the room below mine was smoking and the smell came through our vent and filled my room. When brought up to the hotel, they did nothing. The smell woke me up at 4 am and I had to switch rooms to a smaller room. The hotel did not compensate me in any way. In fact, they assured me that if I went through the proper channels, that I would be assured a refund. They LIED!!
