It just felt very dirty, many things looked like they hadn't been cleaned in a long time. The fridge in our room had been unplugged and leaked water all over the floor, there was hair left in the bath tub and sink and lights flickering in the room randomly. The upfront staff was very kind however, but i wouldn't recommend staying here regardless.

Would not recommend
Rooms were dirty (candy canes smashed into carpet of one room and stained, footprint on sheets in another room), loud/screaming kids running the halls all night, breakfast was gross (pancake machine takes forever and only spits out 2 mini pancakes at a time, cream cheese for bagels had sat out too long, definitely not the “buffet” they advertise). Beds were comfy, they offer Dove bath/hair stuff, staff friendly…..those are the only positives.

Not sure what they were thinking
I arrived at my room to find the door propped open, the bed only half-made up, the radio on, and house keeping nowhere to be seen. I finished working on the room and never saw another staff member. The floor towel was wet from being used by the prior person. The bedside clock radio was backlit by a blue LED, the color light which keeps people awake. At least the front desk woman was friendly.
