Never Again

No info given at checkin person barely spoke. Had to buzz and pickup phone on wall to get someone to come down each time, but at least they came down. No idea when breakfast was. No password for advertised WiFi in room given at check in, no info sheet anywhere about hotel or amenities. No coffee packets (so no coffe for us) for the coffe maker supplied and advertised. Microwave dirty with crumbs. Bed sheets had gravel and tons of little black hairs almost like someone had a cat/litter box in room and had the pet in the bed, but whatever it was those sheets were not changed or washed from the last stay. Toilet seat had a greasy sheen of cleaning fluid and lint on it that we had to wipe off before using. Light over bed only came on halfway (dim fluorescent). No bedside clock or lamps. Freezer in dorm sized fridge was completely iced up. Had that “hotel odor”, left after one night with our throats irritated. Booked the honeymoon suite with jetted tub and standup shower for 2 guests but only enough towels given for one or the other, might want one extra towel for using the tub since it’s in a separate room from the shower and not everyone showers after a bath. Community cream cheese tub for breakfast use with other people’s crumbs in it. Only powered creamer for breakfast coffee (just a pet peeve) since there was milk and a fridge.

Only good: Comfortable beds, clean room, bathroom.

Waited in small boxy room, rang silver bell to the right. Waited a couple minutes and voice said coming downstairs soon. Waited about 5 mins. Checked in, got key. No parking near our room. In room, tv did not work. Tried to dial 0 on room phone but that was dead. Called their # on my phone, got someone who booked us, but was not at that location. They called someone at our location and someone did come in and fix tv. They said breakfast 6-9 am. We got down there during that time, no breakfast. Found a room w chairs on top of tables, no one there, just some bagels available. Just use this place to come in, got to bed, get up and go. No kleenex in bathroom, but clean and there was a tub. Beds were comforable.

The building was under construction so the room selection was limited. The bathroom towels in my unit had stains and hair on them. When the air conditioner was used a funky smell came blew in to the room. I used a flashlight to look into the front of it and realized the filter has never been changed and the inside coils had A LOT of crud on them. The refrigerator mad a dripping noise all night.
