Margot

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
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!

Disliked: Amenities
The staff was decent but had issues with verifying the check in process. The TV in my room didn't work and the door lock (not the deadbolt) was broken off. I dont remember off hand if they offer a "continental breakfast" in hotel description, but if they do, they shouldn't.

Not what we expected
Didn’t have the king bed room we booked. Power strip to TV/fridge was off so couldn’t use the fridge because it smelled so bad. The heating and cooling system in the room was shot off so it was freezing when we got there. Very old hotel with much needed updates. Super disappointed.

Will not be going back.
The place is old and run down. Water spots on the ceiling with bowls to catch water in the lobby kitchen. The breakfast was toast/muffins and oatmeal- pretty disappointing. The room is old and worn out. The towel bars were rusty. We switched rooms because there was a dirty sock in the first room. Sheets had stains on them and there was mold in the bathroom.
