Bed was comfortable and sheets and floor were clean, but the room did not smell very nice. The shower curtain rod and ironing board were in poor condition, but the iron worked great and the hotel was very quiet even though our room was right by the lobby. Overall the room was adequate and our stay was nice. Sadly, the pool was closed due to covid.

We had reserved a double Queen room & told by Orbitz that check in was at 3. We got there around then and were told by counter that check in wasn’t until 4. He then takes our info & told us room might not be clean yet, but he’d let us go check. So, instead of finding out which rooms were clean, we had to go up and see if someone was cleaning our room. We got one key for the two of us & when we got into our room, it was instead a king bed room with a hot tub. I don’t know if the guy at the counter made an assumption or what, but two friends don’t need a hot tub. There were mirrors bolted to the wall crooked and the toilet took forever to flush. All in all it was okay, but it was barely worth the money we spent to stay one night.
