Stay Somewhere Else

This stay was a total disappointment. The lobby smelled like chicken boullion yet (even though promised) there was no food available for breakfast, lunch or dinner even though there was a kitchen in sight. And, on the morning we tried to get available coffee in the lobby....the carafes were empty. Total disappointment.

Definitely will not stay here again

Not good! The lobby stinks of stale food; the hallways have a bad smell though not as strong. The ice bucket in our room contained food waste from a previous guest. They don't make your bed or change towels unless you ask, but they don't tell you this (so we came back to soggy towels in the evening). There's two pillows per queen bed, and no extras, so too bad if you want two of your own. The toilet blocks very easily. The staff isn't friendly. And with all of this they have the audacity to charge you a $100 deposit!

Our room was not very clean. The carpet had stains and felt sticky. My socks were black after walking around (I forgot my slippers). There was a bracelet from the previous guest on the floor so I’m not sure it was vacuumed very well. The sheets, towels and bed coverings were very thin. I guess there isn’t daily housekeeping at the hotel because we were there 3 nights and our room was never cleaned, trash taken out or supplies replenished.

The property needs to be refurbished. Overall the property seems dated, and while there is a no smoking policy, the room has clearly been smoked in. Several electrical outlets in the room no longer worked, and limited linen services. Would not recommend

I felt like I was in a homeless shelter. Really seedy people were walking around the hotel, some barefoot. I felt so unsafe there. Then someone around my room started smoking in the bathroom and all the smoke was coming in through the vent. When I complained about it, the person at the front desk said that they will gladly change my room, all I have to do is come over closer to 11. When I did, she said the room was not ready yet to come back later. When I came back, there was a different person and she said there were no available rooms and no one told her that I would be changing rooms. So I had to deal with another sleepless night of second hand smoking in a hotel that is advertised as "no smoking".

Hotel room had a nice atmosphere when we got to our room. However room amenities definitely need to be updated. TV was older, alarm clock didn’t work, and AC was extremely loud. The toilet was not only loud but ran for a while after flushing. My biggest complaint though is the bed was not comfortable at all. All that to say the staff was nice, and seemed like a safe area. Room layout made it nice also. But personally won’t be staying here again.
