This was our first time at your hotel. Walking into a dirty and smoke smelling lobby was my first hint that I made a mistake. I was second in line to check in, but still waited 15 minutes. It seems that there was a problem with the rooms not being ready. The check in service was very slow. Our room looked like it was cleaned but it smelled of urine. This hotel is not to the standard of an Expedia hotel.

Hello, my room was fine - it was clean and tidy. But that is the only positive feedback I can provide. I will not be staying here again. I stayed here probably 4 or 5 years ago and it was in better shape then. The whole reception area looked dirty. The ugly green paint in all the hallways and reception check in area are awful. The elevator was filthy. I went down at 6:30 for coffee and there was none of the amenities they use to provide like some pastries, instant oatmeal etc. The trays were empty and the coffee bar was dirty and messy. I came back down at 8:00 thinking maybe there would be some improvement, but there was not -- there was no coffee left. There were people gathered around the reception desk, one was yelling at the lady behind the counter. It was a disturbing scene. I got my things and left. What's happened to this place. This location is in a very nice neighborhood - It really needs some work. I can't see anyone wanting to return for a second visit here.
Coffee bar - a sad sight - no breakfast items
Coffee out at 8:30

Filthy room, in disrepair, stinky! Trash and a shoe under the bed, toilet seat coming apart, fridge is filthy, they advertised you can get dishes and then they didn’t have any available. Wasted for clean sheets and got yellow stained sheets. When I asked for the advertised amenities and services they said they just don’t have any good maintenance person to fix things. There was no accountability and no effort to make anything right or clean. The worst experience I have ever had in a hotel.

The dirtiest and worst hotel ever! WOW! Do not believe the photos of this hotel you see posted. This is not even a hotel. It’s a hole in the wall. Honestly it should be rebuilt from the ground up. Everything is wrong with it! Why are the rooms being rented out? And don’t even try to get a refund for your stay on a worn out , stained mattress. You will not see a penny! There is no management at this property.

While parking was sufficient, the overall stay fell far below expectations. The room and hallways were not clean, and the hotel had a persistent unpleasant odor. The beds were outdated and uncomfortable, and essential amenities such as a coffee pot and blow dryer were missing. The bathroom was stocked with only minimal supplies, inadequate for two guests. Based on this experience, I cannot recommend this hotel.Thanks for the survey
