Yes the room was very nice. I was kind of surprised at the carpeting in the hallway. When I got off the elevator on the second floor, we thought the floor was under construction because of the flooring looking like the floor was old flooring but it was the carpeting pattern.

I regret not paying closer attention to the reviews before booking this place for the night. The lobby had an extremely strong gross chemical smell that hits you like a truck(not a clean smell). There was a cockroach in our bathroom. Front desk attendant’s response when I notified them and showed them a picture of it was “Oh…” and that was it. Didn’t have high expectations for the price but this was a terrible experience.

Used search filter for hotel with airport shuttle, breakfast and pool. This hotel advertised all 3. But didn’t have any of those accommodations. The airport shuttle stopped at 5, the pool was empty and breakfast not start u til 5 am. Very dissatisfied on advertisement. And I had to arrange uber to get there.

I killed a roach in my room. The breakfast area was disgusting. I don’t think they wiped the waffle makers down. I’m at least the past 3 years. If you go too late, there’s garbage and food all over the counter. I don’t think anybody is designated to clean and take care of the area. It was not a very clean hotel.

The carpets look terrible. Like they are bare floors in the middle of construction. They may be clean but appearance doesn’t suggest it. Staff were polite. Breakfast is not served early enough for an airport hotel where people are getting early flights. It should be 4a-9a. Or at least be able to get continental type breakfast of possibly reaped pastry’s.

Giving a star because the front desk guy was nice and we were able to check in a couple hours early. The hotel overall is run down and in the process of a makeover. The pool was out of service completely which was not noted at time of rental. The biggest issue was we were on the 4th floor and our room was infested with tiny red ants - everywhere.
