Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Very disappointed and disgusted with my stay at this location. The room would've been ok, however wasn't clean, the toilet bowl had crap stains and the floor hadn't been vacuumed, it had a green fingernail and a raisin on the floor, visible. I told an associate, and he said he'd get the supervisor or housekeeping to clean, NOTHING! No one even came to bring clean towels and washcloths. The room doors are so loud when they open, it woke me up when the door next to me opened. I dont know if it needs some WD-40 on them or what. Oh and my room phone was messed up too. I can't believe I traveled 10 hrs to stay there. I hope it gets cleaned properly before the next guest arrives. Room 506

We had a great time visiting, but we had a terrible sewer smell that was extremely disruptive. The young man said the maintenance person had to leave due to emergency and was willing to move our room! That was very inconvenient. The smell got better but then came back around 11pm and lasted till we checked out!
