When I checked in and entered the room I noticed the carpets and couch were stained, the microwave did not work, there was 2 big spiders in the bathroom, insufficient bath towels, no ice bucket and desk chair was broken. There was no tv remote so I had to go to the office to get one but it wasn’t working so went to retrieve a second in which also didn’t work. The staff said they’d come check on the problem shortly. An hour later I had to go back down stairs to ask for assistance with tv as I was tired and wanted to rest. They finally got that fixed. I was unpleased with the room. I wouldn’t recommend to anyone

I've been to this hotel many times over the years, and this is the worst I've seen in the condition of the room. Both shower and sink faucet leaked. There also sounded like there was some kind of leak from above the ceiling near the sink. These rooms have been neglected and are in serious need of maintenance and appliance upgrade. Staff was courteous and accommodating when I requested a different room. Room was otherwise perfect for my needs, which was to sleep and do some work using the desk table.

The pictures are deceiving. The carpet was stained so I used my shoes as slippers the entire time. We didn’t see housekeeping not one day, our garbage was piled by the time we left. I also had to go to the office for coffee and clean towels. The mattress was ok but the box sorting was noisy. Not up to par, but it was SB weekend and all other hotels were booked. Definitely not ok for small children, ok for single or couple travelers.
