My god where do I start?! So I recently stayed at this hotel and was absolutely horrified . There was black mold in the tub and the room was not cleaned properly. So after I get into my room I proceeded to the front desk to speak with management for a refund, as I already prepaid online prior to checking in.The manager stated that her name was “G” and that she would refund me in full after I presented all of the photos I took on my phone of my concerns but because I had no other arrangements for the night I had no choice but to stay there. Management also advised me that they were completely sold out so they couldn’t even change my room. I was also told to call the following day to confirm my refund.So I did and the manager “G” was incredibly rude and unprofessional. There was also chipping paint on the walls, The toilet paper holder was literally falling off the wall , The photo’s portrayed on the website were cleaned and intact . But To my surprise when I checked into my room it was absolutely disgusting. It was a terrible experience, and I can't believe how poorly they handled the situation. I will never return nor recommend this place to anyone who has even the slightest expectations.

Pretty much exactly what I expected. A hotel close to my event, but not much else. But again what I was looking for as I wasn’t a tourist, I was in town on business and this was a great choice. One I will make again and again as long as I keep going to that event.
