The room was as clean as possible but they are old rooms and kind of weird layouts. Overall quiet for being near the lobby. They ran out of towels, the check out was a mess, the day time reception was complaining about prior guests in the lobby during breakfast hours. I'm still waiting on an emailed receipt fo my stay.

The young reception ladies were super nice so this doesn’t include them, BUT we were there for 3 days and it was disgusting. We had roaches in the room and had no fresh towels unless we went downstairs to request them and then the old manager gave us dirty towels with dirt stains. And when we asked why housekeeping hasn’t been to our room, the manager told us they only come every 3 days, and dismissed us. Will never stay here again.

Everything was great - the room was clean and spacious, the free breakfast had a decent variety and was very clean, and the staff was friendly and helpful. One thing that could be improved is the check in process. It was a bit slow, but the person working the front desk was pleasant. I felt bad that he was handling all the check ins by himself. When we arrived there were already a few guests ahead of us waiting to be checked in, and when it was our turn there was a line practically out the door.

The check in girls don’t feel so welcoming , all on their cell phones . As soon as you are walking down the hall there is a strong odor not bad nor pleasant but like trying to cover up something . The room we got was at the end , 110 and as soon as we entered we can smell the cover smell over the humid musty smell. It was so bad to breathe in there. We heard there is a leak over the bathroom and we can hear it dripping throughout the night . Definitely this place needs some work .
