Terrible experience. We arrived at 1 a.m. to find a transient outside the entrance, and there were no clear signs showing the lobby is on another floor. Staff made me feel like I was bothering them by checking in late. The room was the worst part—smelled like sweat and dampness, like a dirty locker room. It felt unclean, and I couldn’t even sleep worrying about bed bugs. I left the next morning and booked another hotel, even though this stay was prepaid. Not worth the money or the stress.

The hotel was lovely. Couldn’t give it 5 stars due to cleanliness. My room smelled of stale cigarette smoke. I asked about changing rooms and was told they were all sold out. Otherwise things were good. I didn’t partake, but the daily breakfast seemed popular among the guests with the lobby eating area full of guests each morning.
