Killed a cockroach in my room as it crawled up the wall behind my nightstand…all towels were dirty, had to wait for receptionists to finish giggling/joking with 2 other coworkers behind a curtain prior to acknowledging me sitting at their desk for a few minutes. My thermostat was not working, the linens looked used, the elevator seems like it’s going to break soon, the breast was very basic but ok.

I had reserved a king bedroom. at check-in, i was given a double bed. The elevator is broken, and the room's interior looks like it had been overlooked by housekeeping for a month. The Breakfast bar Guy was very rude. I will never stay here again.

I reserved a room that was an handicap accessible room and they gave me a room on the 3rd floor and get this the elevator was out of service for my whole stay. So my wife and I had to climb up three flights of stairs! Breakfast is exactly what you would expect nothing special. No bacon or sausage. Just hard boiled eggs with cereal, yogurt, waffles, juice, coffee and bread bagels. Also no laundry room and Crackheads everywhere beware. Didn’t see any security on duty.
