The parking lot is a headache a bunch of loops just to get in and out. The front lobby is beautiful but the rest of the hotel is lacking on the upkeep. The room was clean but smelled weird, the bed was super soft. The tv was extremely small, desk chair was stained and dirty. Furniture in the room look like it has never been cleaned. There was no microwave or mini fridge in the room. Walls were peeling and turning yellow.

1st room was so dirty, grease marks and smudges all over window, floor not vacuumed, blood stain on sheets, chairs stained and crusty. So hot and humid and smelled bad. Went to desk, they said they had no other rooms available. Until someone, I assume is a manager, didn't introduce herself, found us a different room on another floor that was more clean, however vents in here are coated with dust, shampoo, conditioner, and body wash bottles in shower have mold on them and they're empty. Furniture is beat up pretty bad, I can find better furniture at goodwill. In the evening, the halls stunk of weed. Not worth the money. The lobby is misleading, once you make it through there, the rest is dirty and unkept.

The room was not very clean, furniture was stained, the coffee maker in the room was broken. The staff were friendly but that is not enough to make up for the poor condition of the building.

ADA mobiliy rooms need to have a hand held shower. Our room had one at one point, but it looks like maintenance didn't want to replace it and just insyalled a wall mount shower head. This is fixing on the cheap, like alot of things at this property.

RUN!!!

My toilet wouldn’t flush and my sink did not drain even after 2 maintenance requests and even asked requested to be moved to a different room which was never honored. Sketchy ppl hanging in the lobby and sitting outside at ALL hours. It was as if the lobby had a “marijuana”scented plug-in. I visited this hotel once in 2022 and it was nice. It has gone WAAAAAAY downhill. All the furniture needs to be cleaned or even burned. The bed skirt on my bed was FILTHY. The curtains in my room looked like a cat ripped them to shreds! The insides of the drawers were disgusting. The wardrobe had 2 hangers and one was broken.WILL NOT return nor would I recommend this to even my worst enemy.
