Nasty room

First impression after I opened the door was shocking. Room smells from cigarettes it was hard to breathe. I even had to put deposit down for none smoking. Me and my wife weee afraid to even sit down on the bed with fear we will catch something from the filth. Carpet was nasty only walkable with shoes on. Otherwise I wouldn’t recommend. From all the travels I done over years this room was the worse. We couldn’t change hotels because we arrived pretty late. Nothing was available that time. 3am noisy drunk guy yells his friend to open door for him.

Not-so-bad of a stay at all..

The room was neat, clean, and comfy. Lacks certain amenities but sleeps well. Can't recall his name atm but he was very attentive and helpful night and day. Great customer service. He didn't let his need to leave disrupt his work or let anything like that show unlike another. Easily took care of my booking issue :-) I was exhausted and aggravated with hotels.com agent but I'll be sure to get and remember his name next time I'm there.
