We needed a last-minute spot to sleep for our date night at the casino. This wasn't far from the casino & close to a few prime spots! The front desk was nice & the room was decent but the hotel smelled like weed, really, really strong. No plug-in outlets around the beds. We booked a queen bed, not a double & when we got there, they were out of queens (we booked about 4 hours before showing up) & we got "upgraded" to double queen beds, which were 2 doubles, smaller than we'd like as a couple.

Heat was slow to warm up the room, and when I left it was tough to close and lock the door. Staff was friendly and accommodating, but the room could use a facelift.

Strong Pot Smell shabby room

We arrived very late - 2am. I called on the phone and the staff let us in. First impression was BAD. Lobby was dirty and the entire floor smelled like pot and a very strong perfume that maybe was used to try to cover up the pot smell. Also, 3 police cars were in the parking lot when I arrived. The room appeared clean but bathroom door and paint were worn & rusty. The smoke detector was covered with what looked like dried wet paper towels or something . I'm not sure if that meets fire code. I'm assuming it was that way because of the pot smoking but it was a no smoking room. I was kind of grossed out by the initial problems- police, terrible smell, dirt, rust & broken bathroom door, that I never really felt comfortable. But we didn't have any other issues with our stay.

The smell was awful

Upon entering our room, there is a strong unpleasant smell. The smell seem to be coming from the couch, I’m sure somebody urinated on it. The tile and the door trim in the bathroom needed paint and repair. As we were packing to leave, I noticed that there was a dead bug on the sheets. There were also ants crawling on our belongings. I immediately laundered all of our clothes and disinfected our bags when we got home. I wasn’t really comfortable with the group of men drinking beer right outside our window either

The room did not have working air conditioning, the water never got Hot, The Tv was very small, and you could not get a good channel. The bed was lumpy and small. The desk was way to tall compared to the chairs. The pillows on the bed were small couch pillows, Not a pleasant or comfortable stay. When we first walked into room it smelled like tobacco, and the side of the bed by the wall smelled like dog. We had booked and paid for two nights, but only stayed for one. Would like a refund for one night. Staff was very pleasant and tried to be helpful.
