Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort

Very clean; but dated. Shower problem not fixed.

The room was extremely clean for an older room. After the first morning, our shower in Room 231 would not shut off. We had to go somewhere, so we told the front desk. When we came back at night, the water was shut off. We did not know until the next morning that all the water to the shower/tub had been shut off!! We were never told when we returned. We were unable to take showers before we had to travel home.

There’s no ill intent behind this review, but the room we were given was quite dirty unfortunately. There was dust on surfaces, the tabletops were left uncleaned (there were sticky spots left on the night stand as if something had previously been spilled), and there were notable stains on the linens. We ended up finding a cockroach on one of the pillows, and we ultimately decided to cut our stay short.
