We honestly opted to move to another hotel without complaining. There is the process of remodeling and I hope once it’s completed there will no longer be issues with the AC. This is not a reflection of the staff as they tried to make us feel comfortable

Dated, needs new lobby furniture

I was supposed to stay here on Monday 4-13-25, but it was so chaotic. Also very dated and dirty furniture in lobby, I really didn't want to go and see the room. Seemed dangerous with so many people coming and going with no visible security
