Key card didn't work and staff didn't check to verify that it worked after having to let me into the room initially, so it happened again late at night when I came back and had to wait forever to get into my room again.

Im not sure if Ive ever stayed at such a bad hotel. This was the chair in my room. The light at the sink outside the bathroom didn't work so I was in the dark doing my hair and makeup the next morning and I found hairs on the sheet and pillow that werent mine before I got into the bed. I went downstairs to talk to front desk and nobody was there, nor was anyone there when I came downstairs in the morning. I requested a refund from hotel.com an hour after I checked in. I and haven't back.

Nice staff, not-so-nice room.

The room had a really bad smell to it. That was very bothersome to me. I’m assuming it was a smoking room in the past and they tried to cover up the odor, but they didn’t do a good enough job. The shower faucet did not turn on very easily either.

No stay hotel

The room was humid and hard to sleep in even with the air on, the tv cables were loose and kept messing up even when tightened, there was an odd bag hanging on the wall with gross water in it..like a dehumidifer bag. The service manager was unfriendly and kept telling us not to touch anything. He wouldn't provide a checkout receipt. Continental breakfast was very limited.
