Disappointing
I was extremely disappointed with my stay. I should have been notified prior to booking that this hotel was in the process of having major updating. Aside from the construction in the entrance and part of the hallway, my room was dirty. I have taken photos of the dirty floor in the room and really dirty floor in the bathroom, the mirror in the bathroom was not cleaned nor the tops of the desk. I also have a photo of a few crawling insects on the floor. My key card had to be reprogrammed four times. Very disappointed!!!!

Will not be staying here again
My husband and I use to come here 10+ years ago just for a quick overnight trip. Well, it hasn’t changed in those 10+ years. Definitely time for some upgrades. Carpets are stained. Tub dripped all night. Stain on the recliner. Funky smell

Not so good
Check in went smoothly. When we entered the room all seemed well. To sit on the bed the edges were very hard, the sheets were rough to the touch, and the bed was indented in the middle. The TV had a line that went through the middle. The refrigerator and the shower leaked all of the time.

This place is by far the worst and most disgusting place I have ever stayed in. After my first night I woke up with bed bug bites all over. I threw away all of my belongings incase any of those things got into my bags. I will never stay there again. I do not recommend anyone to stay there. This place should be closed down.

Disappointed
Quite disappointed with the general appearance to be honest. Looks like the rug in the entire building has been there forever. They obviously try to make it good,but everyone knows rug can only be cleaned so much. It needs to replaced for sure. The shower tub faucet was dripping. They could definitely do with some upgrades. The staff was quite friendly and helpful. The AC in my original room was loud and I was given another room.

2/10 Poor

The hotel is very rundown and dirty. The room was comfortable, however, the carpets and furniture need replacing or deeply cleaned. Staff was very nice and helpful but I will not return. The lobby of the hotel serves as the dining area for the free breakfast they offer and the carpet there is very filthy. Not a good first impression at all. Overall Hotel is very dated and needs to be renovated urgently. Also the elevator safety certificate is expired.

2/10 Poor

After finding bites on me and my daughter, we found bed bugs. Due to carpet on the stairs, I tripped and almost fell again after having back surgery 4 months ago. I was taking the stairs because the elevator is slower than molasses. I skinned my shins and had bruises and a blood knee. The carpet is dirty with spots all over. The hallways were hot and smell nasty. I will never stay there again.

2/10 Poor

This was THE WORST hotel we have ever booked. The bathroom had beetle type bugs in the cracks at the base of the tub. Thank goodness we were checking out that day after I noticed them! The bugs did not make me forget about the lack of hot water that was available. The air conditioning was not very cool at all. The carpet in the room was dirty a nd sticky. Even though it was supposed to be a no smoking room it reaked of tobacco and cannabis. To top it off for it to be considered a handicap accessible room the only thing that was accessible was the bathroom. When asked if there were any other rooms available I was told no. And the breakfast was horrible! Even the “fresh” fruit was wilted and had brown spots. Expedia should definitely reconsider promoting this “hotel”!

Not the best and not the worst.
Checked in online ahead of time and when I arrived I had to answer all the same questions in person. The woman at the front desk was not very pleasant when I inquired about checking in ahead of time online. The room was not the cleanest. There were stains on the carpet and lamps. Our toilet bubbled up instead of flushing down. The bathtub had a stain of what could either be rust or possibly blood. The elevator was very slow and the hallways were very hot.

The room was clean and the beds were super comfy. The only issue we had was the hallways were very disgusting and smelled terribly of Marijuana and dog. All night long we heard a dog barking nonstop. Overall it was an okay stay, but most likely will not be returning.

Staff was awesome And the location was great. However, the hotel hallway carpets were disgusting, the vending machines on our floor were broken and clearly many did not adhere to the “non smoking” rule because our floor reeked of cigarette smoke. The workout room was bad. Whoever owns this hotel needs to do some serious remodeling. Housekeeping did their best but stained carpets can’t be fixed. Again, the staff is amazing and the location is great, but I will never stay there again
