HORRIBLE!!!! BE AWARE!!!! STAY AWAY

It was the worst stay Im attaching photos, we had to move rooms 3 times the first room we went to was not cleaned bed not made, 2nd room was filled with smoke, 3rd room was better because it was a corporate room but still had a smell n the tub wouldn’t drain. We saw roaches…. It was so bad and I’m so disappointed I truly feel I am owed a refund but we didn’t have 7-10 days to be refunded because we were on a trip it was what we had so we were stuck. I vocalized with management and all they said was take it up with hotel.com but I paid at the front desk. I will be making a terrible review. I have all 3 room keys managers card n bug pictures as well as dirty bathroom with gum n disgusting towels that were the “best they had”. I should be refunded

The room felt smaller than most single bed rooms do. When there is two guests like I had there was only three very flat pilllows so that means one of us got one pillow. There was a baggie of cookies probably from the last guest in the floor beside the fridge .and the carpet had some not a lot of crumbs in it. Cleaning staff needs to step it up.

Meh

The place is fine, I suppose. It's quite run-down. I wouldn't recommend it for a romantic getaway or anything but if you're in town for a night for a concert and will mostly be away, I guess it's fine.

Very old, not updated. Has a musty smell. Elevators were “iffy”. The pictures on web site is old and hotel is not what you see in the pictures. Bed was clean but very uncomfortable. Balcony door did not lock. Shower was weird and on a slant. Fall hazard. Air conditioning barely worked.
