Hard to find parking. The restroom was located through uneven closet doors that didn’t shut correctly. The shower faucet leaked. The guests above our room were extremely loud! They stomped around the room and had loud intercourse. This hotel is horrible. I do not recommend for families with young children to stay here!! The worst hotel I ever stayed in!

Never again

Joseph checked me in, he was very kind and helpful. Later that night, some difficult people checked in. I was walking my dog and encountered them - I think it was a mixture of drug addiction / domestic violence - IDK, I asked if the women needed help, she did not. She later was banging on my door and window, yelling at me. In the morning she was seated outside the door - I found a man to watch over while I loaded by car - had my pets with me due to evac. had to miss work that day AND pay for the full 3 day stay due to Expedia. Worst, worst experience. PS - the updated rooms were nice enough but the floors were black with dirt.
