Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
I stayed in the terrible room. The shower was weak and not hot enough. They told me to wait for 30 minutes. After one hour, it was the same lukewarm water. I complained about it. They said nobody is complaining about the hot water. They don’t even come and check the temperature. I waited another 30 minutes, nothing has changed.

Meh

This was just not the right space for us as a family staying multiple nights. The room was spacious enough, but with no in-room coffee maker, a super tiny fridge, and the light switch on the outside of the bathroom it made it hard for us to be comfortable. This is definitely an older building with new decor, so low ceilings and some awkward refurbishments. It is in a great location making it very convenient otherwise.

When I arrived someone was in their car in the parking lot smoking weed. My room was ready and I went and dropped my things and then headed to dinner. When I came back the same person was in their car in a different parking space doing the same thing. My room was an accessible King. The sheets had stains on them. There was a dead fly on the window and another dead bug by the sink. The accessible shower didn’t have a curtain. The knob was broken so getting hot water was a challenge. The heater made noises as if there were parts rattling around inside.
