Stayed 3 nights. No housekeeping the day after first night and was told by management that all housekeeping staff had quit. False fire alarm on the third night with no intervention with management to the guests and the hotel was far from being full. Condition of room was just okay and the mattress was old and very uncomfortable. Would mot stay at this hotel again.

The room looks like it had recently been renovated but gave a dirty feeling since messes hadn't been picked up up during renovation, ie paint spots on the floors/bedding. Also had dirty towels hanging behind the bathroom door from the previous guest. The staff we did encounter were polite and accommodating.

Worst hotel ever

Arrived after 4pm, room was not ready needed to wait. The room was filthy and stunk. The tv had direct Tv and inly 1 channel worked, front desk came to check it , he couldn’t fix it and left, also there was a plastic bag taped over the smoke alarm and when I mentioned it he did t seem to care. We then told him we were not staying and wanted to cancel and get a refund.

Stone age stay

Listing indicated that there would be laundry facilities, but the very rude desk attendant declared that there were none. There was no elevator for those of my party that had accessibility needs. And the customer service agent was condescending and misogynist toward our female party members who did breakfast was also dried out and or stale
