Very dirty, very disgusting mold smells of cigarettes many broken or missing items. So bad that even though I checked in at mid night I booked and left for another hotel getting there at 1am after a full day of travel. Should of gotten a full refund but didn’t even want to stay any longer than I had to.

Terrible Room and Terrible Service

This "non-smoking" room smelled of cigarettes, including the pillows. No top sheet, no phone, no hot water, no soap or shampoo and a carpet that defies description. No view and no coffee pot in the room, no coffee in the foyer or anywhere nearby to purchase. A staff that was rude and scary. I was actually threatened when I asked for assistance with the television.
