Good hotel for a quick overnight

Good stay for the night. The room was spacious and the bathroom was very clean! The hotel is in the middle of renovations but that didn’t bother our stay too much. Breakfast wasn’t too bad. We’ve had better but we’ve also had way worse. Again, it was a good hotel for a quick overnight!

Disappointed

The female employee at the desk was exceptional! The lobby was clean and smelled like chlorine from the pool so I thought this was going to be a perfect hotel...I was wrong! The carpet in the common areas and once you get off the elevator on the second floor was absolutely disgusting!! Ice machine didn't work on the second floor either. Entering my room it smelled like cat urine. Paid extra to stay in the room with the jacuzzi, left to go get cleaning supplies before actually being able to use it. I expected a lot better with the reviews... I'm disappointed.
