The absolute worst experience I have ever had at a hotel. They made us wait until the actual check in time, right to the minute, ok but we only wanted to leave our bags in the room. When we entered the room we noticed large sticky stains on the rugs, the tiled area was dirty and sticky, there were no dressers to put clothes in, the closet was literally 2ft x 2ft x 7ft with one shelf, the cable tv never worked even after complaining, they never fixed it, the shower floor tiles had black mold on it, when you used the shower it overflowed into the main entry area soaking everything, the king sized bed springs creaked and popped all night, the mini frig was dirty, sticky and disgusting, the small coffee maker was dirty. We only stayed one of the 4 nights and fled to the Holiday Inn express that was fantastic. Avoid this dump at all costs or you will be sorry..

I understand being precautious during a pandemic but the breakfast needs improvement. It was a bottle of water, a nutragrain bar, a muffin and an apple every day. Could you possibly add small boxes of cereal and a small carton of milk? The staff was amazing, our room was much larger than expected. We could walk to everything. I would definitely recommend it and we stay there in our next trip.
