Run Down

The rooms we a bit run down and somewhat dirty. The property seems to be falling apart and not kept up with, but has tons of potential. There were some renovations, but they seemed to be DIY. Front desk people were very friendly, but room service was poor. After the first night our towels were taken but not replaced, bed not made, and lights left on that were not before we left for the day. Breakfast was just waffles, bagels, and cereal. In the end i dont think it was worth $100 a night

We checked in and got our room and all went well. We joked about a deposit and was told we would get charged if anything happened. Got to the room and noticed damge to the bathroom door. We took pictures and reported it to the front desk. They immediately noted it and took our pictures as well to show proof to management. Very pleased how they handled the situation

All in all the room wasn't bad, just few things within the room was the issue. When walking around the room, the floor made my feet black within a few steps, no in-room amenities such as a room clock and telephone, there was flies flying around and little ant-like bugs were on the floor. The outside maintenance was not upheld from the grounds keeping to trash in trash cans not being emptied. The staff was polite at checkin and out
