The first room had mouse traps with peanut butter on it. There was blue sticky stuff and hair all over the sheet and mold by the ac unit. Lots of damage. Moved to a different room and was woken up by a mouse digging in my stuff. Talked to management the next morning and they moved me rooms again. Toilet ended up not working and flooded everywhere. They were going to move us rooms for a 4th time but I checked out and went somewhere else. Lots of damage in every room. Smelled like weed and cigarettes. Staff was really nice though.
Toilets don't flush let front desk know. They said it was an issue for second floor we got a plunger still didn't flush. Eventually they went down in their time thank goodness it was only pee. Very run down. We left for breakfast so can't let you know what that looked like. You are right next door to a strip club just so you know we had no clue. There is restraunt attached we didn't go but looked like steady traffic. Car was safe overnight even though parking lot looked shady. Only bonus close to hospital.

Couldn't stay there. Dogs are NOT allowed! Staff was kind but, of course, could not accommodate me and my animal.

The staff was great! We stayed 1 night instead of 2 due to the poor quality of the room: the mattress sagged terribly, no blanket, thin walls.

The front-desk staff was very nice (Heather and Mark?). When I went to take a shower the water wouldn’t shut off and they had to move me to another room. The water leaked into my friend’s room next door so they had to move him to another room as well. While I was moving my stuff I came back into my old room and a member of housekeeping was going through my bags. She said she was looking for the room key. Staff should never touch guest bags without permission! When my friend got his new room the heat didn’t work and the room was freezing (it was 20 degrees outside). Again, most of the staff was nice and a portion of my bill was comped, but I won’t be staying there again. The property is in desperate need to maintenance.
Smelled like cigarettes. Had grime build up on doors.

Staff were courteous and helpful. Condition of building especially the room was poor. Pealling wallpaper, outlets that did not work. Very dirty covered entry (cigarette butts all over and some small trash) hallway very dirty, ice machine on 3rd floor did not work. Coffee maker filer compartment had white hairs in it. 3 towels had large black dried in stains, elevator brakes squealed badly. Continental breakfast was 3 types of dry cereal in Tupperware, no bowels. Had packets oatmeal but no hot water. Had stand with 2 types mini muffins- looked dry, 2 kinds of bread slices-dry, 2 types bagels- appeared dried out.
The hotel is terribly outdated. 1st room had a huge stain on the fitted sheet. If that was acceptable to put on a bed makes me wonder what else was acceptable that didnt habe a stain. The door to the bathroom didnt close and the vanity had some sort of wax dropplets all over it. The tub still had the soap residue on the soap shelf. I would habe not stayed there if it wasnt for the lateness of check in and just needing a bed to sleep in. Will not select this hotel again
