I was woken up at 1 in the morning with a bug crawling on my leg. Not sure what type, but I had a hard time sleeping after that. The was also a huge spider and web in the bathtub. The room had not been cleaned well.

On Expedia upgraded from standard room to suite. At check-in was given room 101. This was a large room with standard room furniture. It was empty and felt like you were staying in a storage unit. Not an upgrade.

We stayed here 10 years ago for our honeymoon and it was clean and a super convenient location so wanted to stay again for the nostalgia- so I read the reviews and it was still rated pretty high at an 8+ so I felt like it would still be decent. The staff was not friendly at all - at check in or check out. We checked out at 6a on the day we left and the desk clerk was asleep in the lobby chair and the only thing she said when I gave her my name and room number was “you’re good”. The rooms were moderately clean - they weren’t gross but could use a little better cleaning. I gave 3 stars overall because the room was decent and the location was perfect.
