Timothy

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
The staff and room were appalling. I waited 30 minutes at front desk to even begin check in before a front desk representative arrived. The room was filthy and the floors never seem to have been cleaned. The shower only spit ot cold water in the morning while trying to prepare myself for work. Dreadful bathroom it was basically falling apart.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
I wouldn’t recommend this hotel. The bathroom had multiple places where the paint had dripped down the pockmarked walls. The toilet was built too close to the sink so the lid couldn’t fit on the tank. The sink drain backed up with minimal amounts of water. It wasn’t a great experience.

The carpets throughout the hotel were filthy. There was cable tv. The phone had no phone wire to make calls or even get a wake up call. There was no coffee in the breakfast lounge. They had cereal, muffins and donuts packaged for breakfast. The juices were so watered down they tasted awful. The extra door latch was off so there was no safety on the door.

Supposed to be a smoke free place and the room reeked of cigarettes. Super gross, I couldn't even stay in the room it smelled so bad. I ended up going somewhere else. It is also just rough looking in general. The rugs at the entry are all torn up and a tripping hazard, broken asphalt all over the parking lot, people wandering around outdoors all hours, the emergency exits had the doorknobs removed and you could see outside the holes that were left as a result. I would not recommend staying here.
