Unfriendly front desk

Upon entering for check in the front desk woman didn't even look up or bother to make eye contact, she was not welcoming or friendly. I even asked her if she was having a bad day she she no. Not a good way to start your stay! Otherwise it was fine.

Door locks need replacement, door locksDo Not Work

Archaic door lock systems at this hotel do not work. You are not safe in the room nor are your belongings.. when you return at night from dinner you will have to go to the front desk and be treated like a nuisance as the person takes 15 to 20 attempts to reprogram your non-working plastic card. You may remember this key system from the 90s.. I walked around and look at the locks on every door. They were all damaged and poorly repaired. Most of the window screens had at some point been broken through also and not repaired.. These things are all evidence of dysfunctional door entry systems. Is there anything more important at a hotel than a functional door lock set?

Great location. However noisy & problematic guests all around us. Someone knocking on doors and screaming all night the first night. A dog whining alone in the room next door, doors slamming at all hours. The room is old and very worn out, bathroom needs full remodel. Mini fridge smelled like something died in it, unusable.
