Very Disappointed Guess

Check was quick, I was tired after being in a class all day, so I really appreciated that. The room was a smoking room which I didn't realize I reserved, there were ashes in the drawer, the bedside table, the refrigerator, and the ice bucket. The window drapes were filthy. The bed linen was stained and a mouse ran across the floor. I guess its needless to say I did not stay. The young lady at the registration desk was extremely apologetic and had no problem with issuing my refund. The hotel seems to be in a nice area, that was extremely convenient to where I had to go with many restaurants and shopping to choose from. I hate my experience was not pleasant, and hope no one else has to experience what I did!

Took my daughters to a concert and the location is very convenient to the PNC pavilion. Check in was simple. Staff was friendly. The linens were satisfactory and clean. We didn’t stay for breakfast but it was in a clean area and looked ample. Coffee was decent and served all day. The hotel itself on the other hand is in terrible shape.They still had smoking rooms so the hallways smelled. Half of the floor we stayed on was under construction so instead of stale smoke smell is was noxious fumes and dust. Not just like paint fumes either…but like refinishing tile or something you shouldn’t be breathing in. They really should have done construction a whole floor at a time. The room itself was rundown, filled with neglected and shoddy repairs. Most concerningly was mold in the sink and in the shower. I mean how terrible of a job does the cleaning staff do that mold is even present at all? Luckily we got in late and left early so all we did is sleep. My only advice would be the new owner should reduces rates 20% until construction is complete, step up the cleaning crews and get rid of smoking rooms. Most importantly I would inform people of the current condition. On the plus side it wasn’t ghetto, nice convenient location. It definitely has potential but for literally a couple dollars more I’d recommend booking elsewhere until this hotel is finished. When renovations are complete I would give them a second chance. 3 star may be generous currently but could improve very easily.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Bathroom shower/tub was dirty. Remodel work was supposed to start at 9am but started at 7:30am and was very loud. Wellness check on a guest a few doors down was alarming and a little disturbing. This was not staff's fault and they were as polite and discreet as possible.

My only complaints is the room was a tad bit outdated and needed some small repairs. I absolutely loved that we could tell that the cleaning crew had been in but did not love the heavy aroma of cleaning solution left behind. We will definitely be back though.
