Unsafe place having a motel 6 next to it drug dealing. Other than that, I have a son with autism and sometimes he has his moments, so there was one night that he spilled his drink on the bed and I went to the lobby to get some sheets. The thing is that this staff member gave me a hard time making up excuses on not fulfilling my request and he got to a point he said “if I want to” also said that “if I needed the sheets I could look for them earlier since I was coming in and out the whole day from the hotel” obviously his comment was rude. As far as I know I could go in and out as many times I want without being questioned, plus I clearly said to him that the situation with the sheets was an unpredictable accident with my autistic son. At the end what it seems is that this employee is not considerate with people with disabilities. At the end of this unnecessary back and forth this employee did got the sheets that I needed for my son.

Front desk people were nice, bed was comfortable, but...Had to request a different room because of a barking dog next door. Moved to new room, was told issue with dog was taken care of, but had same problem with yelping dog most of the night. Thank goodness for earbuds. Also building is under renovation, with construction mess/noise. Door to my room was very hard to close, and there was trash scraps and a couple ibuprofen (I hope) tablets on the floor of the room. Think walls and traffic noise. I will not stay here again.

To be fair, the property was being renovated (which I was not aware of before booking) and the building and decor was a bit dated. So it was okay, but not what I expected.

The hotel was under construction, should’ve had a warning before I booked the room that the hotel was under construction. But I did appreciate the sign that said we’re busy making changes so that your next visit will be more comfortable.
