There was no working central air in my unit, there was a portable unit in the living room portion of the suite with no cool airflow in the bedroom, I had to go buy a fan for it to even be bearable. The trash was never taken out!! The seals around the door was so warn down I could see light around the front door. There were cobwebs and dust bunnies on the vents and ceiling. I have stayed at over a dozen hotels in the last year and this was by far the worst! Would never recommend it to anyone nor will I stay again

Thought this would be a great hotel for my family to stay on their trip. Upon checking in on the first night, we noticed bed bugs on the pull out sofa bed. The manager was accommodating and told us he would move us to a different room. That room wasn’t available until the next morning and we had to pack up everything and put it in our car for the day. That night around 10pm we get back to our hotel to check into our new room. There were bed bugs also in that room. There was no manager on duty and Cole who was working the front desk was extremely rude and unprofessional with handling the situation. We left and found a new hotel that night. I let the manager know that he has bed bugs in these rooms. They supposedly sent EcoLab out to the rooms and they did not find anything in their reports. I have posted pictures showing there are in fact bed bugs. We will not be staying here again.
