The bed was comfortable and clean, however the rest of the room was unclean. The headboard looked to had not been cleaned in some time… there were oil spots from peoples heads. Dusting didn’t appear to be a priority as the light in the bathroom was encrusted with dirt/dust…Fridge had old food (ketchup) crusted. The fridge wanted to topple over (missing foot) Hair dryer had hair in it. No screen on window. Shutters were broken- missing adjustable rod. There was no plastic bag for ice bucket , and, the ice bucket had what appeared to be mold on the lid and stuck on food.

Just ok. We had extremely noisy neighbors. We were on the back side of the hotel where we had requested to be away from street noise, but it was a lot of construction guys staying there, as well as "employees rooms on the back side.

The room itself was nice, but the property felt kinda run-down and poorly-managed. I got there around 7pm and the front office was dark and nobody there. I rang the doorbell but no response. I had to call the office, and someone finally came out, I think they were busy doing laundry. Vending machine wouldn't take my quarters, there's no elevator which meant I had to lug my bike up the stairs, and half the rooms didn't have numbers on them and looked closed-off. Also, no breakfast was served the next morning. My room itself was clean, quiet, and comfortable, but the property felt like it's seen better days.
