Liked: Cleanliness
Room was in OK condition, it wasn’t dirty, but furnishings were dated and worn. TV had a defect where there was a big dialogue box covering up about 20% of the screen that they couldn’t get off. One of the desk guys did come up and try to help and I give him credit for that. It was just overall a mid-level hotel.

We requested a refund and did not stay. The rooms were musty, furniture was busted, watermarks on the walls and just overall gross. The pictures presented on the website are definitely misleading. However, the staff was helpful in assisting with the refund.
