The sheets smelled like they were washed with no soap including the towels. I’m not sure if that’s what it was or smoke smell. Whole room smells terrible when we walked in. I never make bad reviews but this place is awful. I’m so glad to be out of there

We requested a late check out (12PM). Staff started knocking the door at 11:15, the worker entered the room avoiding our replies. Frustrating. Overall, the noise level is disappointing as they don’t have any wall/windows insulation.

Not recommended!

Had to wait 10 minutes (8:30pm) to check in our room. Office door locked with sign. Young lady finally unlocked the door. Did not open the door for us. We are in our sixties. Never welcomed us just told me to sign their papers and pay a $100 deposit for possible damages, etc. 4-5 day return back to my card😡 Room smelled “funky”! Thin sheets, no washcloths and the floor was very dirty with something sticky on it. Continental breakfast was cheap choc chip muffins and coffee. Nothing else, no fruit, yogurt or anything. Morning desk clerk was equally grumpy and unfriendly as the one last night. Won’t stay there again!
