We did not stay. Arrived, Looked at the room and left. Asked for a different room, had mold on the bathroom window. Whole team of construction workers were staying there while working on neighboring properties, I felt unsafe. Front desk person was nice, but said all the rooms were the same. We got our $25 pet deposit returned and consider the $130 non- refundable we paid Expedia for the room a gambling loss. Don’t stay here as a guest. Not as pictured on Expedia.

When we arrived to check in, no one was at the desk. I waited, called the number - which rang to a cell phone sitting on the desk - and pressed the ring button. After a half hour someone finally arrived to help with no explanation and no apologies. The room was fine until my husband used the bathroom and reported there was still waste from previous guest in the toilet. And there was no cloth cover on ironing board. Won’t be staying here again.

Think twice
Not very impressed. Have stayed here in the past. The place has gone a little down hill. Had loud neighbors yelling and fighting all night. Parking is not enough for all the guests. Probably won’t be staying here again. But the staff was very nice and helpful.

Disappointment
The property was very rundown. The rooms were very old looking and not taking care of no wardrobe doors. There is no shelf in the bathroom. We couldn’t open the window because there was no screen on the window in the bathroom. The flooring was not put on right and there was gaps in the flooring, which I tripped over, The TV remote was missing a backing on itt, The shower door was missing off the shower and they just hung like a rigged up shower curtain on it for the price that we paid for two nights. I feel it was not worth it, and I feel that it was not worth my money that I spent on it and I felt it was way overpriced. We were truly disappointed. .
