Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort

felt dirty

The room was dark. The carpet was stained. We felt dirty being in the room and using the bathroom and walking on the floor. The last night the phone kept ringing. It would ring and only static was there when we picked up. It happened 7 times that night from midnight until morning. The only advice given to us from staff was to disconnect the phone. But we couldn't do that because the jack for the phone was broken off and we couldn't unplug it. When we arrived in the evening each night, only parking spots in the back of the building were open which wouldn't be a problem but they designated the back door for exit only so we had to walk around the entire hotel to the front to get in. That is difficult when carrying multiple things in.

Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort

Room, not so great. Breakfast was great.

The lighting in the room was bad. The lighting in the bathroom was terrible. The room was just DARK. The only place to hang cloths was in a cabinet that also held the iron and ironing board. We couldn't hang all of our clothes. The TV was way off to one side of the room and not in front of the beds. Some kind of wooden thing on the wall that was probably sold as "art". My wife sat on the chair in the room and it was wet. I went to the desk and was told that they could not give us another chair. Really! I asked for and was given a couple of extra towels to put on the chair and soke up the wetness. Really! On a brighter side, the breakfast was GREAT. The person handling the breakfast was thoughtful, nice and did a good job.
