I didn’t stayed the entire time due to the building being remodeled and others inconveniences there wasn’t a room ready to check in, when there was one it was without tv, no soaps and short of towles, after that I have to check out ahead of time for fire alarm going off and either fire department or the staff unable to mange it, made me wait for hours to check me out since Expedia was responding as the same as Generali insurance company, it was so terrible the experience also with them, 0% recommendations as a travel app. helper.

I have to say it was the worst place I ever stayed upon checking into the room.The floors were filthy trash all over the floors.They were sticky blood on the wall.And roaches crawling everywhere. They gave us bath mats to dry off with instead of towels had to go get cleaning supplies and clean the room myself Very disappointed. The staff was friendly, but hotel needs to work on cleanliness.

The room was filthy, had roaches and ants. Looked to have had water damage so there is likely mold present as well. I spoke to the person at the desk and stayed at a different hotel. Had to wait until the next day to speak to a manager about refunding my stay, who told me I had to contact Orbitz. I tried to make the request on Orbitz, but the refund options and chat didn’t get me any progress. So the following day, I called Orbitz and the representative was extremely understanding and fortunately I got a refund. I originally tried to request the refund online through chat, but that feature did not work and I wasted a lot of time trying. I wish they would make it easier to do so I didn’t waste so much time. The hotel approved the refund and I hope they are able to make changes and correct their issues.

They went above and beyond. We had booked a room there and when we arrived they had us going to the second floor, but the elevator was out of order. My husband could not walk up the stairs, so they took a room that they are in the middle of remodeling and let us stay in it on the first floor. When we were coming back home we did not have the same opportunity and had to stay at another crappy hotel. But for the one night, they did help us out!

Tried contacting the front desk repeatedly, no answer and the one answer i got i was hung up on.. we left amd went to another's hotel just to get some sleep. No refund was offered from the front desk, and they said i didnt complain to them. How can i when i cant reach anyone.

Worst experience at a hotel ever and I travel a lot I got to the room and nothing worked the bathroom door didn’t close no heat or hot water hallways smell like dog urine drugs were found in the room I believe drugs were sold out of the back of the hotel and the employees know about it and they all smoke weed outside the hotel during the day wouldn’t give toilet paper and then to top it all off I paid on Expedia but for some reason they charged my card 2 different transactions of $200 right before the holidays trying to screw me over I cannot believe this hotel is even in business
