Buyer beware. They are remodeling but don't tell you until you check in that you will need earplugs for construction noise. Cracked tub, door handle that literally fell off and a broken lamp greets you on arrival. Unfriendly staff don't care and it is old. dirty and dingy, nothing like photos.

Overall stay was just ok. The property is needing a major facelift inside and out. As renovations are currently being done, this was in no way disclosed before the stay or booking. Noise was minimal and traffic with construction in progress didn’t hinder navigating through the building. They have water damage and leaks through the inside property and exterior areas that are visible such as the patio. If they successfully complete the renovations this place could be a great spot along with location. We were placed in an older room and smelled wet, very dated looking. We were able to speak to the persons and the front desk and made further accommodations. I will say the front desk staff was excellent in handling the situation and moving us to another room. All around the cleaning crew, breakfast organizer crew all very friendly and helpful.

Horrible never go back

That place was under complete construction. The elevator broke down halfway through the day they shut off the water. The carpets were absolutely horrendously dirty. There were no curtains on the windows and no one anywhere in the registration process ever mentioned this hotel was under renovation. It was horrible.

Unpleasant experience

When I checked in no hot water for 2 days . I had a flood in my house snd booked this hotel and had no time to change hotel. Construction literally next to my room and the carpet was filthy , elevator broken snd needs to be fixed . The hotel should not be open during this full remodel. Very loud snd dirty . When you book the hotel it needs to say under full construction and loud and working on the weekends. Could not sleep or relax at all .

Unpleasant Stay – Wet Carpet and Mold Smell I booked this hotel through Expedia, and unfortunately, my experience was disappointing. Upon entering the room, I noticed a strong moldy smell, but I didn't think much of it until I took off my shoes and realized the carpet was completely wet. There was no visible leak, but the dampness made the room very uncomfortable. I reported the issue to the front desk, but the staff member told me she couldn’t do anything since I had booked through Expedia. While I understand it was a budget-friendly option, I expected at least a clean and dry room. Unfortunately, I chose not to stay here again. I wouldn’t recommend this hotel unless management addresses these issues.

This property is under construction and the interior is not in any condition to have guests. I checked and and then left 10 minutes later. The hallway carpet was filthy and the rooms were run down, dark and obviously being prepped for painting etc. with chips everywhere and spackling all over the walls. I wouldnt have booked this property if i had known the current state. I moved to a nearby hotel.
