Go somewhere else

The “blanket” on the bed is just a slightly thicker than usual sheet. The towels are tiny. The walls are thin so if you’re a light sleeper you’ll be going to bed when your neighbor does. The blackout curtains let a lot of light in. The shower is setup to never give you hot water, you will get lukewarm water at best for a shower. It’s like this hotel doesn’t want you to be comfortable, go somewhere else.

Liked: Staff & service
The staff was really nice, however the halls smelled like weed and body odor. Our room didn't smell but wasn't in the best shape. The curtain rod was bent and kind of hanging from the wall, the paint was peeling in areas. Beds were definitely older and they could use new pillows. Our towels were also stained when we went to use them. It also sounded like the neighbors were in your room when they were talking. Thankfully I'm not a light sleeper. We did not try the breakfast.

Good & Bad

I appreciated the wood floors instead of carpet in the rooms. The check-in and check-out people were very friendly. There were only two towels in the room and one needed to be either thrown away or soaked in bleach!
