Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room was rundown and in terrible condition. Mold all over ceiling in room and heating didn’t work and we froze. We got moved to a different room the next day and it was slightly better. Total of 5 nights and it was a struggle, beds were not comfortable and pillows flat as could be. Mirror in bath was broken and hair dryer didn’t work. Best I can say is location is awesome and good parking available. Room was cheap and rough shape.
Toilet wasn’t attached properly to floor and moved around. Bottom of mirror missing and hair dryer didn’t work.
Mold in 2nd room on handicap shower bench.
Bed was uncomfortable and pillows were worthless.
