Not Worth staying

Let's start with the staff not friendly at all they were rude. Pillows cases were nasty like that hadn't been changed in awhile. Sheets & blanket made me itchy. Maids never came in cleaned the room or switched out towels and rags. This hotel will never get our money again.

Ok

Wasnt bad. When we got into our room there was no ftidge or microwave which shocked us. Went down and asked since we were staying for 2 days we for sure wanted those. The front desk guy did get us a different room. But he also was like did you make a mess in the first room. Told him no we were literally in there less than 5 minutes. He goes im going to check. Which I thought was rude but fine go ahead. Got in new room only 2 towels there were 4 of us staying but i was like ok whatever. Next morning go down for breakfast there isn't any. No one at front desk. So called finally a lady came out asked she said oh no breskfast not many guests. Which does make sense but would have been nice to know day before. Then asked her for more towels. She was very nice. Otherwise it was an alright stay.
