7.6/10 Good! (1,000 reviews)
The outside of this property is very deceiving. Everything looks nice and appealing until you actually step inside the room. We booked what was advertised as a Studio Suite, but there was absolutely nothing suite-like about it. It was simply a regular room. The room smelled old, musty, and muggy. The furniture was outdated, and the bathroom wallpaper was peeling. The most concerning incident happened during breakfast. I was there with my niece and my 2-year-old grandnephew. We grabbed a cup of apple juice for him, and after taking a big gulp, he immediately made a face and said, “Yuck!” We tasted the juice ourselves and were shocked by the strong chemical odor and taste, which smelled and tasted strongly of Clorox. We immediately went to the front desk to report it. To her credit, the employee went over and tasted it herself. Her reaction was, “Oh my God!” She quickly shut down the juice machine and ran to the store to purchase replacement juice. A machine serving juice to hotel guests, including young children, was dispensing something that smelled and tasted like bleach. Thankfully, my grandnephew recognized that something was wrong and didn’t drink more. A nice-looking exterior means absolutely nothing if the accommodations and, more importantly, basic food and beverage safety don’t meet acceptable standards. This was not the experience we paid for, and I would not return or recommend this property based on our experience. This was my experience.
