Cleanliness guarantee?

They use some sort of hotel-wide air freshener in this hotel that smells like a bar bathroom. Literally made me nauseous and gave me a headache it was so strong and toxic-smelling. Worse in the halls but also smelled in the room. The shower in our room was gross and there was something red and viscous on the shower wall that looked like blood. Since it was late and my son wanted to shower before bed, my husband just cleaned it. In the morning I went to the desk to let them know and ask them to refresh the room and re-clean the shower thoroughly. When we got back the second night, no one had cleaned the room at all. Back to the desk to get fresh towels and reported that no one had cleaned the room. Instead of an apology I was told it “probably wasn’t even blood” and they only clean every other day. (Fair if I hadn’t ASKED for the room to be cleaned.) For a chain with a cleanliness guarantee, this was a fail.

This is a very nice hotel, beds are very good, everything clean , ac is good, the room is modern and new. The rooms are not big but I don’t need anything bigger - no couch or sofa and only big enough for two. Soundproof windows since it’s close to a highway.

Does the trick and clean and safe

King bed was comfy, room was small but had all we needed. Had to wait awhile when we arrived as there was no one at the desk for a bit. Good location to visit our UA student. Breakfast was more basic than some hotels but offered enough options. Would stay again.
