Not good

Our room did not look like any of the pictures on the website. There is water damage and peeling wallpaper. We ordered door dash, sat our food down on a counter and roaches came crawling out from under the counter and tv. We did not have a microwave, mini fridge, or ice bucket in the room. Missing light bulbs and outlets not working.

Friendly but Rough Condition

At the original check in, the room we were offered already had people staying in the room. Once this was resolved and we got a new room the room we were given was in pretty rough shape. Paint was peeling, the tub faucet had a constant trickle, and the was what looked like a melted starburst on the floor next to the bed. The alarm clock and outlets in the nightstand next to the bed were plugged into an outlet that was switch controlled. Meaning you couldn't set the clock or charge your phone unless the lights were on. I didn't take a lot of photos, but I wanted to make sure we didn't get charged for damage. Overall the bed was fairly comfortable and the staff was friendly but will not be staying there again.
