Clerk at check in was rude, no smile, no kind of customer service. Toilet had no lid, machine in toilet, did not flush, toilet lid found on top of sink, shower was dirty, no toilet paper, smelled awful, drunk people in hallway yelling but staff did not know how to tell them to be quiet because it was 2am and kids/toddlers running in hallway, parents yelling around midnight at their children. Was not a good experience at all. Would never recommend this place

Does not honor reservations

We arrived at 8pm. The hotel canceled our reservation along with several others to sell the rooms to walk ups. The hotel sold out and had no other rooms. Zero apology for canceling our reservation. Whats the point of planning in advance and maming a reservation if the hotel has no repercussions for not honoring it.
