Check in time was 3:00. We arrived close to 4:00 and were told our rooms wouldn’t be ready for another hour because housekeeping was behind. No solution was offered as to what to do about parking or luggage. The air conditioning was broken in the lobby, so it was stifling hot. Then, I was told we only booked one room when we had booked two. The front desk staff was not helpful at all. In addition, my brother in law arrived in his room to see the toilet filled with feces. I would never stay here again.

The guests next door has kids crying until 11:30pm. The room was so humid and the carpet felt moist. We thought it would clear up after a couple of hours but it was still in incredibly humid. The room smelled musty. The bathroom had a hook that was about to fall off. There wasnt enough hooks to hang all the towels.

The bathroom sink overflow was dirty( appeared to have mold). The desk staff ( 6/28 day shift) left the desk and I observed her smoking just outside the main entrance. The smell of cigarette smoke was very strong at that entrance.I think it is not appropriate for anyone to be smoking where others will have to smell it.
