Filthy room

The place is dying of a thorough removation! The 2nd flloor landing isnt even! Its unsafe i feel it might collapse anytime. The linens looks dirty white & smells cigarette ( hope they use linens for the non smoking rooms) its just worth the price. There is a lady that lives down us looks like a longterm resident & looking creepy & unkept!

Unpleasant smell in the room. Very noisy from the road. The bathroom is terrible. The paint is all peeling. The floor was dirty. Dust on the headboard. The towels are very small. The bar of soap was tiny. In the morning someone from the neighboring room was arrested.

I have to say that this particular place has improved since I was here last, almost a year ago I believe. The beds are more comfortable and the cleanliness of the bathroom was a pleasant surprise. Also seeing that this place comes standard with both a mini fridge and a microwave without the need to upgrade to a higher priced room really made this place worth while. And along with that, you have a lot of dinning and shopping options with the premium outlet center close by.

Lego Land trip

Hotel was close to Lego land and close to different options for dining. Hotel room was clean and great for the price. However it seamed that there was a room which looked to have a patron living there… the curtain was stained yellow from cigarette smoke. Also while we were there, in one of the rooms a few doors down, people were getting arrested and the CSI team was called out to the scene. Not sure what happened, but it sure made for a scary situation.
