stay somewhere else.

We had to be moved rooms, the AC was out, the elevator broke while we were there. You have to use your card to get in and out of the hotel after 10pm, that didn't work with no front desk attendant, we waited for a good person to let us in. There were roaches present, no housekeeping and the parking situation was horrible. People taking up 2 spaces and no one doing anything about it. I gave it 2 stars because one person was trying to help.

Simply gross

When I arrived the person at the front desk said what room I was in while other people were there. I always thought they werent supposed to do that but I could be wrong. Now the room...it was dirty. There was hair in the bathroom along the sink and the mirror. There were spots on the floor it looked like hadnt been vacuumed. The desk in the room was super dusty like they never cleaned it. There were some old stains on the bedsheets and some random hairs. It made me think they didnt change sheets. The room itself smelled musty and the bathroom smelled like it hadnt been cleaned. I didnt even eat their breakfast so i dont know about the breakfast. I didnt trust it if they couldn't clean the room properly.

Needs upgrades

The elevators were broken the nights we stayed it never got fixed. The cleanliness of the room was not great and we called but the front desk never answered. We asked for extra towels and were only given one set. The breakfast was very minimal and not much quantity.

I booked this property 3 months in advance. Followed the 3 pm check in rule. But when I went to check in, I was told that the hotel accidentally overbooked. So, they had no room for me. I asked the receptionist what I should do, she told me to try the “motels” nearby. I was very upset. While I was talking to her, a man came in and checked in and got a room!!! When I complained more, she said her manager is coming and “let see what he can do”. The manager came and finally gave me a room that turned out to be a bigger room that I booked. My point is..if the hotel “accidentally” overbooked, was I my fault? Why didn’t they gave me the other room in the first place. But instead, told me to go to try the motels nearby. Very unpleased. Then, two days later, I wanted to use the washing machine. I asked the receptionist if I needed coins to operate it. She said they don’t carry cash at the counter and told me to try the gas station next door. I spent 30 min in trying to get the coins. The receptionist had no clue that one could download an app, load the money, and operate the machine!! She is at no use at all!!
