Family trip.

We had a quick family trip. Stayed two nights. The room spelled like mold. Couldn’t find where the smell was coming from. Finally I saw it was on a lamp shade. The bed was hard and the pillows were lumpy. The lobby was very clean. The elevator not so clean. Overall wont be staying here again.

Bad experience, house keeping came to clean the room and left the door open all day, anyone can walk into the room, didn’t feel safe afterwards. Elevator not working, phone on my room wasn’t connected to report the issue, spoke to the Manager and he try to resolve the situation, offered 10% back, and re-training his crew.

Good service but rundown overwll

The folks who work here are very nice. Our initial room smelled very strongly like cigarettes and they quickly moved us to a suite. The mattresses don’t have liners and just have a fitted sheet on top, making it easy to see stains on them. The curtains had mysterious stains (soda probably) and in general it all looks a little old. The floors were clean, the counters were as well, but it is generally just a little run down looking. Breakfast isn’t much either. Again though, the folks who work here were super helpful and friendly.
