Disliked: Amenities
Our first room had water leak from AC unit, broken toilet seat and shower door and sheets were dirty. We had to change rooms. Next room no better. We left and stayed at the Aloft hotel down the street. The new paint on this hotel cannot cover the filthy rooms and dirty, musty smells of an old building. Front desk was friendly and super understanding. They are on point!

You can hear everything. someone knocked on our window too I wasn’t going to look though. We could hear people talking outside and the cars on the road. The bed was hard. The floor was dirty I found hair on the bathroom floor and walking around barefoot our feet were dirty. The staff were friendly and kind. The stay was okay. The 2 bedrooms were spacious and had a lot of space. Every room had a tv. The kitchen/ living room space was spacious. The kitchen area and fridge were clean.

I showed up and attempted to check in at 3:30pm and they told me they were booked from the previous night and had no clean rooms available at the moment and I had to come back in a few hours. They then refused to cancel me so I could be refunded because I had booked via Expedia. I waited a few hours and the room was still nasty and smelly when I checked in! Hair in the shower everywhere, dirty linen, and the bathroom and the entire room smelling like sewage.

I did not like that the parking lot was so small and the parking was horrible. If you wanted to go out late and came back no where to park. The evening staff was not good... Someone went unto my room right after we arrived.. We left and went to dinner. We had the DND on the door came back it was on the floor.... SMH The room had long hairs all over the place very unclean dishes we pulled out of cabinet were dirty. We didnt get clean towel until it was time to leave. I came for my birthday and I couldnt shower nor Iron my clothes before our elegant dinner. The lady on first shift was awesome. She left us towel we went down and they said we didnt have any there for us. On my Birthday weekend I expected more... Not happy with it at all with my stay.
