FILTHY!
I arrived at the hotel and found it was under construction, which was not indicated on the listing. The lobby was disgusting and i didn't stay. I left without checking in. I tried to cancel my stay but the app wasn't working. I emailed the hotel to tell them about my dissatisfaction and request a refund. I got no response.

The lobby had a very strange smell, Like some kind of food. The staff was friendly. The rooms were actually a nice surprise based on the outdatedness of the lobby. The beds were very comfortable but our tub did not drain. I told the desk and they said theyd gave it fixed but it still didn’t drain this morning. Breakfast was not utilized because there were only 2 tables in there and I think the staff was sitting in one of them , and the other was occupied. There was no other seating so we had a coffee to go. All in all it was ok.

March 2024- under construction, heat didn’t work in the room, my mom who has to use a walker had to use stairs to get to second floor bc there was no elevator. Continental breakfast was pitiful. Hopefully people have a better experience once they’re construction is done.

The room was old and in disrepair. There was no working electrical outlet in the bathroom. There was construction going on at all hours of the day and night just above and just beside my room - even on the weekend. There were some creepy people roaming around the halls. I elected to check out early due to all these things, and the manager refused a refund for the 4 remaining days on my reservation. I had to escalate it multiple times to Expedia before I was finally given a refund. Awful experience there! I would not recommend at all!
