Room was dirty: hairs all over the bathroom, no hot water, lamp broken, old bar soap stuck on the sink and even found a previous guest’s body wash sitting on the towel shelf. This stay was less than ideal and not really acceptable for the money paid.

My stay was cool. The rooms do not have a microwave, a mini fridge and even Kleenex. The room also does have a lot working electrical outlets, it was hard to charge multiple devices. The property was nice and the room did what it needed to do for one night.

The cleaning staff entered my room without permission, even though I told the staff supervisor that I would be departing and checking out after breakfast. Huge violation of privacy to find my room door full ajar and my wide open suitcases all over the floor for passerby's to see. Very embarrassing. This is not the first time this has happened. I will NOT stay here again. Try Holiday Inn on the same site.
