The staff at the front desk was my very first indicator that this would be a horrible experience. She was very rude and lacked accommodation. When we entered the room the door was unlocked. We had issues locking and unlocking the door throughout the night. Upon entry we noticed right away that the room had not been cleaned thoroughly. The carpet was dirty, there were no trash bags in the cans, the toilet and floor in the bathroom had hair all over it. The soap dispenser in the shower was falling off of the wall. The refrigerator DOES NOT work. This was the worst experience I’ve ever had in a hotel.

Hotel is under construction. Not until at check-in did they let me know that the water was going to be shut off the evening I was staying there, with hopes that it would be back on by 6AM. They offered a full cancellation but finding a new location and being the evening I needed a room it was cost and timing prohibitive. Would recommend checking with hotel before booking for next couple of months as they are doing full overhaul of facility.
