UNSANITARY - never will I stay at this “hotel.” Dirty rooms. Showers/tubs that will not drain. Garbage everywhere. Do not clean the rooms unless you stay for 14 days. Front desk can’t fix anything broken. Won’t deliver anything to your room. It’s essentially Section 8 housing. Residents are loud and rude. Playing loud music past midnight. Front desk unwilling to address it.

The kitchen was not stocked at all. Supplies needed to be requested, which I had not. Fortunately, I brought some of my own, and a the hotel provided plates and utensils. I needed cookware and cooking utensils. The kitchen had large storage, but no where to place utensils. The laminate flooring worked very well with my dog. The room felt clean.

expensive for how bad the place is. The "breakfast" is really just coffee, and a muffin and that's it. Although I kept extending my stay room cleaning was done once in 10 days. The room is very dark, and very low lights. Wood flooring in the bathroom sounds good on paper but does not really dry out unless you sacrifice a towel for that. The front desk, they were extremely help and very nice to deal though.

I called before making reservations as I have a bad back and need to make sure the mattress is at least decent. Horrible mattress. Layout of the hotel is horrible. Took me 10 minutes walking around carrying all my luggage just to find it. Then the horrible mattress. Then I find out after undressing and showering and getting ready to eat dinner, there's no dishes or glasses or utensils and they say it's because of covid. Overall just horrible experience and I slept terribly. This hotel has gone down in quality considerably
