Shower curtains are hung wrong therefore opens up when you’re taking a shower, shower and sink drain in bathroom plugged, carpet was dirty with multiple things stuck to it, hard to use ironing board when pad on ironing board is not in place and you can’t tie it down, body wash, shampoo and conditioner dispensers and shower barely worked was difficult to get anything out of them. And nobody cares when you report two or three of these things. And no follow up since I was there for four nights. Tried to give this Hotel several chances over the last year and a half not coming back. But your Hotel won’t care anyways.

There was a leak in the bathroom. The maintenance guy came while we were out. When we returned the door to our room was propped wide open and you could see our belongings, etc. We have no idea how long it was open. No one was in the room, the lights were off. The front desk staff was apologetic and nice.

The room was comfortable, the shower needed repairs but still workable. The staff were amazing and attentive. We were staying for a family funeral and it was easily accessible to church, funeral home and family. We would stay again when seeing family in area.
