Two maintenance issues I'd like you to pass on: The bathtub drain needs to be cleaned out. It drains slow so you end up standing in a couple inches of water. Also the toilet seat is loose. It needs to be tightened up.

Our room smelled so badly of mold, we immediately left. The room looks nothing like any of the images they show on the website. We literally left 15 minutes after walking into the room, it made me so nauseous. We ended up staying at another hotel.

Better than my next stay!

Stayed in 609 where apparently there’s a decent access point for WiFi. Got work done and enjoyed the stay. Staff was excellent and breakfast was good. Rooms were clean and beds were comfortable!

Eh, not worth it

Asked for a specific room because the last time we stayed there, the WiFi was perfect. Unfortunately, it was dirty so I had to get one half the hallway down where there apparently isn’t an access point. So the Internet disconnected a lot and I was unable to get work done remotely. This seems like a VERY basic thing. Neighbors were “doing the deed” which made a hammering sound at 5am. It woke us up. Maintenance doesn’t fix things the correct way; but rather makes it work for the time being. All doors slam and rattles the entire building. I skipped breakfast both days this stay; but it’s normally good.

The staff was very friendly, and the breakfast was better than expected. However, the refrigerator didn't work very well, and the A/C stopped working in the middle of the night. The worst part was that the bar next to the hotel had a band playing, I think, until 2:30 a.m., and I'm not a light sleeper, and it woke me up.
