The front desk employee was shockingly rude. When my husband went to get a roll of toilet paper, she questioned him as to why housekeeping didn't bring it. Earlier when the room was cleaned. I wentdown to the lobby to get water but the pitcher was empty. When i asked for more she said no-its only filled once a day. I asked to buy water and she said it was sold out. I then went back to the pitcher to the last few drops and she came over and took itfrom me. Our rug in the bedroom. Was also dirty. My husbands socks turned black on the bottom.

I cannot believe how incredibly rude the front desk person was. Housekeeping forgot to clean our room, so my husband went to the front desk to get toilet paper.The front desk clerk questioned him as to why he needed toilet paper and asked us why housekeeping didn't come to our room i needed water to take my meducine and the water pitcher in the lobby was empty . I explained that i needed to takemy medicine but she refused to f refill the water. When i tried. to get the last bit of water from the container, she came over and took it away from me. The hotel is also dirty. My husbands socks turned black on the bottom part.

Phones were down, dead bugs on the floor of the room, mold on the curtains, and gnats in the bathroom. Overall dirty and dated. Staff was very nice, but the condition of the hotel left a lot to be desired.

Upon arrival, we had a very low energy staff member assign our room. Upon walking to our room, there was somebody else already in it. We went back to report that somebody was in our room, and they originally told us they were booked, then after they went to visit the room, miraculously found another room for us. Overall, it was a very average stay.

The property needs a lot of help. The hallways smelled of mildew. The first room we had smelled of mildew and we were switched to another room that still somewhat smelled . The rooms just need updating and new caulking and painting and a better smell !

The room was horrible. The internet was spotty and we had no dish signal. The ceilings were peeling and had mold scattered across the peelings. The bathroom toilet leaked so it made the bathroom floor slippery. The tub didn’t have anything to grip to its bottom, which made it very slippery. Will not stay at this hotel again.

Really bad experience

Overall, our stay was disappointing. At check-in, we were informed that both the internet and TV weren’t working. Later that night, we discovered the toilet flush wasn’t functioning properly. I reported it to the front desk, and they said it would be fixed—but it wasn’t. In the morning, we found only decaf coffee pods in the room. We tried calling the front desk multiple times but got no answer. Later that evening, they mentioned the phones weren’t working either. We were initially told to speak with the manager about a possible discount, but when we did, she was unapologetic and claimed the internet was working, which wasn’t true. Our room was also not cleaned during our stay—unclear if housekeeping only operates every other day. Breakfast was underwhelming, and on the second day, it was only available by order, which took quite a while to be prepared. All in all, it was a frustrating and unsatisfactory experience.
