Good location but not too clean
I found this hotel on a travel website. The location was great with easy walking to food, entertainment and shopping. The beds and bathroom were clean, but the floors are filthy. The floors appear to be linoleum and had not been mopped with a clean mop. My room had a kitchenette, but the table had something dried on it. I had to buy disinfectant wipes to wipe the table and floors off. It was a disappointment for sure. The parking lot was also full on a Friday night, and we had to create our own parking spot one evening. I was not happy with the security as the deadbolt on the door was all that kept the door secured and could easily be breached. The lack of cleanliness and security would prevent me from staying again.
