It was supposed to be a non-smoking section of the hotel but you can definitely smell the Marijuana and all other sorts of smell from the hallway to the elevator. On our hallway at the 3rd floor, it smelled like a dead rat for the entire stretch until we got to our room. Our room was clean but then when we got on the bed - it just creaked and the bed was rough on the springs already - needs to be replaced.

Liked: Cleanliness
Check-in was efficient and easy. But was met with overwhelming smell of air fresheners. The elevator was like stepping into a marijuana smoke bomb, likely from the people who got off just before I got on, hallway and room had the same air freshener smell. Room a/c was set to 60 when I walked in…way too cold. Room itself was decent, but holes in the curtain, damage to the HVAC wall unit but didn’t affect performance, shower water pressure was low but tolerable, the tub spout, diverted and drain were rusty. The shower curtain didn’t keep water in the tub, so the floor was covered in water after my shower. Cracks in plaster in bathroom. Check-out was efficient, but I wasn’t able to get a receipt, was told I’d have to get that from Travelocity. For a budget hotel it wasn’t horrible…I’ve stayed in worse.
