Wouldn’t stay here again, unless changes are made.

Beds were really squeaky and moved a lot every time I sat down. Awful smell as soon as you go upstairs. I had to have my room changed upon check in because the first room smelled really bad of body odor and cigarettes, even though the booking was for non-smoking. Changed my room again and it didn’t smell, but the room wasn’t as clean and had the same issue with the bed.

Difficult to access. Property is located off a busy road with only one entry and exit. Exterior has been renovated. Rooms have new accents. Entry from parking lot was not secured and messy. Air conditioner was noisy. Lots of scuffs on walls. Could use a thorough cleaning.

We smelled cigarette smoke the entire time. Very heavy smoke and could not breathe. Excessive noise in the hallways and loud talking We could not stay the two nights we paid for. Too toxic. Paid for two nights and lost the money because we had to leave immediately. I recommend you not stay there ever. Totally nasty
