Clean, comfortable and a good value

Price was good for a one-night stop. Pleasant and efficient front desk staff. Hall decor and elevators did not give an appealing initial impression; carpet was frayed and looked very dated. Colors need a refresh. Guest room with two queens was spacious and clean, however, and beds had comfortable mattresses and pillows. Appreciated that bath gel, shampoo, etc., was in refillable bottles rather than throwaway single-use plastic bottles. Breakfast was quite unappealing. Powdered eggs, tough sausage links, sugary yogurt, instant oatmeal packets, cheap bread slice, fake orange juice, and no fruit.

Just no

Cleanliness was horrible. We got to our room and it hasn't been cleaned. Trash evident, bed unmade, etc. They gave us a new room that was at least serviced. Was it clean, not really. Needed vacuumed, noticed in the morning that the shower was filthy. Some lights and plug ins didn't work. Additionally the website said lounge and restaurant. Not at all. It did have a continental breakfast. Probably the worst. Very little choice. The pool was out of order, it was full of dark water. Just gross all around, will not return.
