Room was dingy, old, badly in need of a fresh coat of paint. Barking dog in the room next door and fighting guests across the hall. Smelled if cigarettes. I walked straight out and returned my key. They said they would refund my room but did not.

The first room I was given hadn’t been cleaned—there were dirty bed linens, Burger King bags and cups scattered around, and towels left on the floor. Thankfully, the front desk staff was very helpful and moved me to a clean room. Booking through Expedia was also frustrating. I’m used to making online reservations, but the site made it unusually difficult to select the correct check-in and check-out dates. I intended to book a two-night stay, but it only reserved the first night. When I noticed the error, I called the front desk, and they advised me to call back the next morning—the day my stay was set to begin. I couldn’t reach anyone then, but when I arrived the staff had already arranged for the second night. The new room was on the second floor, but the view overlooked the dumpsters, and there was loose trash along the back property line. While the staff was excellent throughout, the overall experience left a lot to be desired.

Im 65 and I slipped in the shower, fell over the edge of the tub, and landed as my hip hit the edge of the toilet. Injured myself pretty bad. It would be best if the tub had anti slip floor.

First room I was given keys to somebody else was already in. I opened the door and he was just standing there. Bit of an awkward thing but I apologized and went back to the front desk. She was sorry but how does that even happen??? The room was highway motel-level of clean. There was a spider on the heater but other than that no bugs. Found some hairs in the shower. Breakfast was awful and the coffee very burnt.
