This room had levels of disgust that I haven’t seen in a long time. We got two of the two room suites and as we all finally unpacked and were getting ready to climb into bed, I opened the pull out bed and it was disgusting and covered in brown stains. Instead of having my daughter sleep on that I told her that she could sleep with me and then when we went to crawl into my bed, it also had stains on the sheets. It’s 10:30pm and I’m exhausted and now go down to the front office with the pictures of the stains l. The manager on duty apologized and had a solution of giving me a cover and sheet set for the pull out couch. I told him absolutely not would I put my daughter on that stained mattress even with a cover. Gross!! For my bed, it was only the sheets so he said that he would send the sheets up to our room. They brought the sheets up in a bag and just hung the bag on the handle of our door. I changed the sheets and collapsed into bed but still grossed out. Unfortunately this is a hotel that we will officially take off of our list. The building itself was rundown with things peeling off the wall and needing some major renovations. But the basics really should be a clean bed.

Disgusting rooms. Stained furniture. Do yourself a favor and don’t make the same mistake I did by staying here. The only saving grace was the front desk staff being nice. Everything else was horrible. I would never come back.

Room was very worn, very dirty. Walls need paint carpet is filthy. Room smelled like stale alcohol no fresh at all. Couch was so worn it’s discolored that I didn’t even sit on it. Shower curtain hanging off the rod. Towels had stains. The elevator and the hall carpets were disgusting. Elevator broke down during my stay and I was on the 3rd floor, having just had a hip replacement I couldn’t carry my work equipment down the and had to ask someone to help as I had to get to a meeting. I asked for a luggage rack, none available. The clerk asked why I would need one and told to just put luggage on the floor of the closet. All the kitchen ware was mismatched and no ice trays, no ice machine. But they gave me a ziplock baggy of ice. Coffee maker in room was rusted and only given Decaf coffee t vrew. I asked for regular and was told they did gave any regular, but found me 1 pkg. I found silverfish among other bugs and smashed them with a glass for housekeeping to see. I was so shocked with the condition of this hotel. It looks so very nice on the website. Also they charge 10.00 per day to park and it’s not even a private lot. You just pull up Like motel 6. In the morning I went down to breakfast. Only to find the kitchen worker sitting at one of the tables scrolling through her phone and food was cold. The last day, I called for a late checkout around 10:30 Or 11:00 and was told it would be 40.00, Let’s just say I was extremely disappointed on my 3 night stay.

The over all cleanliness of the hotel wasn’t good. The furniture is dirty, looks like it was purchased at the goodwill. The elevator floor was gross, the panel with the buttons was so disgusting I didn’t want to touch it. Curtains in the room were stained, the cabinet doors were dirty and coffee splashed on the wall on the 2nd floor, nobody ever cleaned it the entire week we were there. We will not return.
