No staff on site was a big surprise...registered via a Zoom like device. Bathroom fan was so loud we had to use the hall light for bathroom illumination. Toilet seat was poorly connected. Continental breakfast was as sparse as they come. This hotel would not be anybody's first choice.

Not my idea of clean.

Never saw a person working. Checked in with a person on a kiosks. The floors and walls were dirty, things in the room were broken, the sheets didn't fit the bed. Dry cereal and toast were all that was offered for breakfast. The parking lot had trash all.over it.

Terrible service had to get my own towels from the employee laundry room. Very limited breakfast options and no one working in the front desk. The worst experience I’ve ever had a hotel. I will never stay here again if I hadn’t booked this so far in advance, I would never have stayed.

Bad stay....no staff

There is no staff at all. Just houseekeeping before 2pm. The interent had been out for a week no rooms t.v. worked. Nobody tolds upon checking in. It took me personally 1hr to check it due to payment not being excepted. If you have an issue, its one lady on a room on the 2nd flr who may help you. It was a terrible experience.

The room and bathroom smelled of mildew, we couldn’t connect the internet to view the Roku, and my wash cloth looked to be stained with foundation. I DID NOT like the check-in or checkout process with a kiosk, and there was no one to ask for help with the television. I also was not aware that I would have to pay a $100 deposit upon check-in
