The staff was fine, the hotel is terrible. They never gave us additional coffee, the lampshade fell off, the towel rack fell, tp was not replaced, towels, another story. The parking garage elevator hasn’t been inspected since 2021 and sounds like it is going to collapse. Description of parking is completely inaccurate. This is an incredibly tired property and needs a lot of maintenance and updating.

We waited an hour and a half for a room to be ready for us, we were told that it had been cleaned but needed to be inspected by a supervisor. We clearly saw cleaning staff messing with their phones instead of working, so it's no wonder it took forever for rooms to be cleaned that day. When we finally got to the room, it was not very clean, stains on the couch and curtains, and dust on all of the surfaces. The air return in the room was coated with a thick layer of dust. The room felt very raggedy in general, with the couch and chairs appearing very worn out. Also, the elevators in the hotel seemed to be old and in need of maintenance. The garage elevators were out of order, so good luck if you parked on a higher level. The staff at the front desk did the best they could to handle the waiting situation, but it was obvious that this hotel is very disorganized and not prepared for a fully booked night.
