The check in process was efficient although the desk was understaffed and we had to wait for the receptionist to finish a call. The room was clean but smelled really bad and the smell didn’t go away with opening the window for a long time. We also had another room that smelled equally bad. I didn’t have high expectations for breakfast but I was still disappointed - especially by the watery coffee which was just unacceptable.

The room was ok there appeared to be stains on the carpet by the desk, most of the usb charging ports did not work, every time the a/c kicked on it would make a squealing noise before it ran, the grout was chipped and, in some places, missing, the toilet seat was loose and would slide around i tried to tighten it but could not and the shower did not drain well at all, i was standing in ankle deep water every time i showered. and there is a huge lip to get into the parking lot
