Cigarette ashes around the window and on top of the heater. Fell in the parking lot the manager was very rude and said it’s not there job to shovel the parking lot only the side walks. Online it says breakfast ends at ten on Saturday and sundays and they closed it before 9:30. Definitely one of the worst stays I’ve had at a hotel

They changed my room because I couldn’t get the TV to work properly. Then when I turn on a TV to the new room still giving me the same prompt. So I was never able to watch TV in my room. Some people like myself have sleep acne, and the table beside the bed is small and one side didn’t have any or enough outlets.
