Book somewhere else, hidden charges. Tv channels didnt work, ac neither . Drug addicts and tweakers all over the outside didnt feel safe. No hot water for breakfast - but had oatmeal. We checked out early, smoke deposit 250 but you get a smoke smelling room to begin with. Make it make sense . Take your money elsewhere

Room was alright, bathroom walls were stained and shower water did not go down the drain and pooled outside of the shower area. Pool was dirty with floating shorts and trash, requested they have someone clean it, no one ever did so we had to do it ourselves. Hot tub had no water.

1. There are junk cars parked in the parking near the entrance. 2. The hotel building looks like a poorly maintained apartment row. 3. The check in attendant was not friendly 4. The bathroom flooded just after midnight, and we decided to leave the hotel (although the attendant at night offered us another room)

Our key cards continuously didn’t work. We had to have them reset at least 4 times. No pillows on one bed and they told us to sleep without them until I suggested they take some from an unused room. Not enough towels and they wouldn’t give us clean towels unless we traded the dirty ones. AC wasn’t working either.

The heat in the room did not work and the blanket on the bed was too light. The room had a lingering smell of cigarettes even though it was a non-smoking room. Plus my wife felt that the bathroom had a smell of sewage. The ‘free’ breakfast was lacking-Old fruit, just some bread and a small amount of cereal. Both of the coffee machines were broken. Be aware the the photo of the room looks much better than the actual room that we had.
