The room had an interesting cologne/Febreze smell, the heater didn’t work, the bar soap, smell bad and did not work well, the bathroom definitely seemed like it could’ve been a bit cleaner. I would prefer not to stay here, but it wasn’t so bad that I would rule the place out.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Bed, toilet, sink, floor were clean. Microwave, TV and shower floor were dirty. It appeared like the Microwave and TV are not normally cleaned by housekeeping. Door lock was damaged with screws about to fall out. A/C was new, blew cold air, and was very noisy. Office sign indicated it was open but actually was closed. It was necessary to go to another hotel to check in, which meant no one was available at this property to oversee guests and security.

Too $$$ for this shabby room. The room smelled like an old man lived there for about a month who used ol'spice aftershave. Yuck ! Towels hard. Heater didnt work - it gets cold at night. The bed was a supped up rollaway. The step up to the room is about a 10" - too dangerous for us old timers.
