When entering the first room there was a roach on the wall… after moving to another room the air seemed to be running nonstop without cooling the room. There was also a terrible seem in the halls. It smelled like carpet that has been left sitting wet. The walls also have some carpet as a border and it is coming apart from the wall.

One of the worst stays I’ve had here in a long time. First, the thermostat didn’t seem to work. I put it on 65 because the room was so hot when I first arrived. I had it on full blast and it never reached below 72 in the room. Then the TV wouldn’t work, the live stations would lose signal every 45 seconds. The next morning I had left the hotel at 6am for a meeting and returned at 8am. From 8am to 2pm. There was a cleaning lady who slammed doors the entire time on the 7th floor. It shock my room and walls every time she did it. I couldn’t get back to sleep. I couldn’t do anything because she was so loud. Finally at around 2pm i gave up and went home a day early. The receptionist didn’t care or ask why I was leaving early. Even tho I mentioned that I couldn’t stay here another night. She didn’t seem interested, which is fine.
