Avoid if you can

Avoid if possible, i booked this hotel for 2 nights for my family of 5. I arrived at 4pm for check in, everything was normal until i got to the room. I was given the wrong room, i booked a 2 queen suite with a pullout sofa, thinking this would be comfortable enough. I got a king suite instead, 1 king 1 pullout sofa. I called the front desk, they said my room was given away and didn't have any available. Its about 430 pm now. I was told they can possibly try to switch rooms for the next night. Being tired after driving all day i said ok and would go speak to them in the lobby in person because i am hard of hearing. I laid on the bed for a few minutes to rest and when i finally got up to head to the lobby i noticed i was covered in white dog hair from the comforter. I then examined the room and noticed dog hair everywhere, i don't personally own animals and don't really want to sleep with someone's pets hair. I then went to the lobby and spoke with the front desk. I was told they spoke with the manager and just advised the same thing from the phone call. I then asked if they allowed animals and was told they do. I explained i was covered in dog hair and i was told i was having a bad luck day. Still waiting for discount. Since i prepaid. Never switched rooms, but that was on me because we would be out all day anyway and asked for the room to be cleaned. Comforter was just changed the next day. Still hair everywhere. Also mold on shower ceiling.

Decent enough to meet basic needs. Our room was not cleaned daily. We were on the first floor and it was very noisy. We could hear all the footsteps upstairs and around the lobby. Staff was rarely around the front desk.

The hotel as a whole is fine. Decent location (surrounded by car dealerships) and easy to get around. However... Whoever thought putting rooms next to the elevator (like sharing a wall with the elevator shaft) was a decent place for a room definitely did not attempt to sleep in said room. The room goes unnoticed by people using the elevator and there is no concept of noise control. I was awake at 6 AM with people going to breakfast and coming and going. So if you get rooms 210, 211 or 310, 311... Turn them down. I spoke with the lady at check out and asked if they had been at capacity as that is the only time those rooms should be used. It wasn't. I should've asked for a different room. Other then the room location, it was a decent place to stay.
