The room was provided literally had BBQ sauce dripping down the bedroom wall and above the bed. It was clearly not cleaned. The second room smelled like someone peed on the carpet. It had peeling wallpaper, broken kickboards and a moldy shower. Great location but I would avoid this hotel.

The check-in was terrible. We had no air-conditioning the first night of our stay. I didn’t sleep all night. They sent someone up the next morning to repair it. I was supposed to get complementary drinks, which I never received. The hotel was generally rundown needs an uplift.

Having a nice evening, early morning 5k run, then stepping into a cold shower that never got even a little warm was not good at all. Since we were on a time schedule for check out, we did not call the front desk. I will be in contact with someone who can help us with this matter. We paid for a room with warm water for the shower and did not get it.
