Overall, OK for one night. Staff was not present when arrived at 7PM. Rug in front of elevator had what appeared to be food scraps on it. Room was small, clean, but smelled of Clorox. Bathroom floor had cleaning product on part of it. Is close to airport. Friendly staff.

Light was intermittently turning on and off in the middle of the night. This was not resolved or compensated because my room was through Expedia. Had an 8 hr work day and 5 hr drive home to follow my restless evening.

Lobby looked nice but the rest of the property looked run down. Our shower obviously wasn’t scrubbed because there were soap scum and the shampoo/soap holder was rusted out. The coffee maker was dirty as well…. Not to mention my in-laws were staying in a separate room and there’s literally had food on the floor and their coffee maker was dirty gross as well….

Very disappointed and disgusted with my stay at this location. The room would've been ok, however wasn't clean, the toilet bowl had crap stains and the floor hadn't been vacuumed, it had a green fingernail and a raisin on the floor, visible. I told an associate, and he said he'd get the supervisor or housekeeping to clean, NOTHING! No one even came to bring clean towels and washcloths. The room doors are so loud when they open, it woke me up when the door next to me opened. I dont know if it needs some WD-40 on them or what. Oh and my room phone was messed up too. I can't believe I traveled 10 hrs to stay there. I hope it gets cleaned properly before the next guest arrives. Room 506

We had a great time visiting, but we had a terrible sewer smell that was extremely disruptive. The young man said the maintenance person had to leave due to emergency and was willing to move our room! That was very inconvenient. The smell got better but then came back around 11pm and lasted till we checked out!
