Check in was fairly easy. Parking was good. The room is remodeled and comfortable. The cleanliness of the room was horrible. Seemed like they only changed / made the bed from the previous tenent. Old wash rags in the shower, dirty floors, dirty everything. Had to wipe the whole room just to feel comfortable. Could have been a good stay if it was clean.

The rooms had been updated, but otherwise this was a weak example of the trend to contactless lodging. Basic information about the room and facilities could only be accessed after check-in through a password secured website. The television was inoperable. (A lengthy explanation in the restricted access FAQ implied that it was my fault that the television wouldn't function, but actually they just didn't provide the remote and the the TV itself had no manual controls.) Any requests for assistance were channeled to an AI bot. I don't mind, and in some cases have actually enjoyed, the contactless hotel experience. But in this case it was very poorly executed.

Not so clean and no amenities.

Room was being cleaned when we arrived, it was after 3 p.m. check in time. There were only towels for three people, or room was booked for five people. The spare bed for the fifth person was not provided with linens, there were no extra pillows or blankets for the regular beds either. Kitchen was in need of a good cleaning, behind the trash can, under the microwave, ceiling above the fridge was filthy. I spilled some water on the kitchen floor, I used the provided kitchen towel, the floor was so dirty it covered the towel. I took pictures of the filth and attached them below. There was an empty water bottle and some trash left from before our visit under the couch. We arrived Friday, we had hot water on Saturday morning, when we returned to our room on Saturday night there was no hot water, there was still no hot water on Sunday morning when we departed.

Terrible

Unfortunately, we were unable to have the pleasant night we had been hoping for! 1- When we arrived, the unit was freezing! I am in favor of energy conservation and sustainability, but everything has a limit! Leaving the unit like that was disrespectful. 2-) Speaking of disrespect, there are no blankets at this time of year and at this temperature. Honestly... it makes your energy consumption soar, since the air conditioning never stopped working. 3- There was no shampoo, soap or conditioner available as advertised and expected! 4- While we were taking a shower, drops of yellow water were dripping from the ceiling, where the exhaust fan is, very embarrassing. 5- The floor of the unit was very dirty, it was unpleasant but bearable, but the cold continues to be the main problem. 6- The TV does not work, much less turn on, they also lied in the advertisements. 7- For those who have a checkout at 11 am, sending a message at 5:30 is very invasive and unnecessary!
