Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Mini fridge in room didn’t work. Property outside seemed unsafe and several parts of building were leaking. Our door entry card kept not working so had to repeatedly walk to front desk in the dark to have them reset room card key. Bedding was old and out dated. Wouldn’t recommend to anyone to stay here no matter the circumstances.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The beds were good and the AC was cold. But the mat of dust on the TV, the hair in the shower and the cockroach INFESTATION was hard to get over. We stopped killing cockroaches after about the 15th kill. The breakfast was Little Debbie donuts and rancid OJ. I didn’t have the heart to try the apple juice. It’s a cool property with SO much historical potential. It’s just being neglected.
