Location was great as we were there for Boot Camp graduation. Hotel could definitely use some updating. Carpet in the hallways was not pleasant to look at and walls could use some fresh paint. Room was comfortable.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Room was dated, lighting was terrible. 3-4 shades of lighting from different random bulbs was awful. Spider webs in room, couch was filled with stains & to o nasty to sit on. Chairs in the kitchen area were coming apart and dry. Only 1 small trash can and 1 roll of tissue. Breakfast was wet soggy eggs, crusty cereal and the milk tasted like it was expired, watered down oj and apple juice. We asked for clean towels, a room clean, trash and were told we had to go exchange the towels ourselves. Our building was really far from the front and very inconvenient. Toilet and bath was clogged and we called multiple times and they told us to go pick up a plunger and do it ourselves which is extremely wild. Staff members Alexia pretended to get a manager and got back on the phone as herself and claim she was survivor Gianna. We asked for an hour extended check out and were told it was $35 which is ridiculous. I said no because why would I pay them anything after they did not accommodate a single thing for us the entire 4 days, 3 nights. If a customer is saying the toilets and bath is clogged, you fix it. You don’t tell us it’s our problem and we need to go retrieve a plumber and fix ourselves. So after all the days, no room clean. No new towels and a clogged toilet and tub. Walls are thin and you can hear everything. We were in room 108. Towels were dingy and bed sheets were not white. Overall, gross here, so not recommend. Someone tell this owner to do better.
