Couple of things surprised me about this hotel. 1. There was no hot water around 9am in the morning. Only warm water. 2. There is no shower gel in the shower. Only shampoo/conditioner. Very surprising and disappointing. Facility is good, staff are very nice. Just disappointed about the room.

Parking was easy, hotel was quiet and clean. Elevator didn’t work the whole time we were there as well as the ice machine on our floor. Also could use some updating. Hotel felt very dated.

Not even close to being worth the money I paid.

The water pressure when showering was almost nonexistent, my wife could not wash the shampoo out of her hair, elevators were broken the entire stay. All the furniture in the hotel was old. there was no maid to clean the room. spent approximately with taxes $500 for two nights, this should’ve been around $200 for two nights based on the amenities and service received. This should be a lesson not to stray from the Hampton Inn around the corner. Overall, very disappointing will not be returning.
