Staff was friendly, location was great. The room had apparently had touch ups done all around in bedroom area and bathroom area. But they hadn’t been done well. So it made it appear to not look the best and maybe not feel as clean in my opinion.

Door latch was broken on room (could not safely lock room). Tub was very dirty. The front desk worker (think her name was Lashawn) was very nice and tried to move us to a different room. Unfortunately, that room had an awful smell of mold. We found a nearby hotel and booked a room there.

When we got to our room, it smelled. The dishwasher was full of dirty dishes and there was a bagel in the microwave. It wasn’t ours.

Everything is wonderful. However, I was charged some additional fees such as a pet fee in which I did not have a pet during my stay. Supposedly, I was going to get my money back and I haven’t gotten it yet. Other than that, great stay.

Room has been updated in the last few years but not maintained well. Room cleanliness was marginal at best. Tv worked about 50% of the time. I was there for a conference so not in my room a lot anyway. Worked for what I needed. I traveled alone. I would not have stayed there with my wife.
