Hotel staff was very pleasant. However, the hotel cleanliness leaves a lot to be desired. I wore white socks in the hotel room and noticed they were black on the bottom before I went to bed, I also noticed items left on the floor obviously from the previous customer. I will not be going back to this hotel.

Nice Lobby - very worn out rooms

The hotel itself seemed nice, the lobby was clean and updated. However the rooms are very worn. The computers were down when we were checking in so not only did we have to wait an hour to check in we never got room keys! The front desk staff had to walk us to our room. Then only one elevator was working so it took longer to get to and from our floor. Getting off on our floor the smell was not the best, the carpet was stained and extremely worn out. Our room was missing the sheets and blanket for the pullout sofa. And there were stains on the sofa cushions. The bathroom was ok, but the shower had cracks in the floor and the handle for the water was loose so it wouldn’t stay in place. Overall it was fine for one night, but we won’t be returning until major updates and cleaning is done.
