Staff was ok. However, checking in there was a damage deposit required of $100 not mentioned after purchasing my stay online. At time check in, my credit card did not tap. I told the clerk the card has no pin or tap featured. I said debit card but it was now $250 using debit. Offered $100 cash as deposit. I told her $100 on debit but she said policy is $250. Cash would not be accepted either. I said I would right down the credit card on the check in paperwork. She then got a manager. It was not until I mentioned to type the credit card number into the debit machine. Then it went through. This was annoying and disappointing the ability to pay but only their terms and values. An unexpected charge after the room was paid in full.

Carpets in hallways are showing their age…stained and worn. Things smelled a bit mildew-like in our room. Clean enough bathroom, no issues there. Just old hotel.
