Good hotel for a quick overnight

Good stay for the night. The room was spacious and the bathroom was very clean! The hotel is in the middle of renovations but that didn’t bother our stay too much. Breakfast wasn’t too bad. We’ve had better but we’ve also had way worse. Again, it was a good hotel for a quick overnight!

Disappointed

The female employee at the desk was exceptional! The lobby was clean and smelled like chlorine from the pool so I thought this was going to be a perfect hotel...I was wrong! The carpet in the common areas and once you get off the elevator on the second floor was absolutely disgusting!! Ice machine didn't work on the second floor either. Entering my room it smelled like cat urine. Paid extra to stay in the room with the jacuzzi, left to go get cleaning supplies before actually being able to use it. I expected a lot better with the reviews... I'm disappointed.

I would not recommend anyone stay at this hotel. It is extremely dirty (moldy showers, blood stains on the wall, dirty carpet, water leaking at ice-maker, non-draining bathtub, etc. Our room appeared to be mid-renovation with new paint but no pictures on the wall. We were told breakfast was until 9 am. We arrived at 8:40 and all breakfast items had been completely removed with NO food available at all. Not even coffee. I went to the front desk. There was nobody there. There was a bell to ring for service. I rang it. Nobody came. There was a list on the wall of all the drug-addict locals that apparently stayed at the hotel and weren't welcome there anymore. A red truck was parked right in the middle of the place where you park to check in and it was there from Saturday afternoon at 3 pm until we left at 10 am the next day. Obviously, someone who worked there thought their comfort was more important than their guests. If you decide to stay here, you've been warned.

Common areas appear very dirty and lots of storage items out in lobby and hallways. Breakfast only had coffee and hot tea items working for beverages. Juice and water machine was out of order and the ice machine in the hall was out too. Didn't even bother going the second morning. Room and working elevator were the best part of our experience.
