I would not recommend staying here. The room we were given was dirty and clearly not cleaned properly before our arrival. The sink would back flow overtime you ran the water. We had to brush our teeth with a water bottle. To make matters worse, there was obvious drug dealing and shady activity going on outside at night, which made us feel unsafe. People were leaving the back door of the hotel propped open. We had the room at the very end next to the door as could here all this activity go on ALL NIGHT LONG. We ended up leaving the room at 1am and driving to a safe place to sleep in our car. The pool was also closed and under construction—a major amenity we expected to use and that was never disclosed at booking. Check-in was also unpleasant; the staff seemed disorganized. Overall, a very disappointing experience and not worth the money.

Gross

After check-in, which took a long time, we found out the pool was closed. That was disappointing. The room was okay, beds are comfy. The walls need touch-ups and the toilet ran at night. We slept ok and the breakfast was nice, lots of options. The room was pretty quiet. There were stains on the carpet and some carpet torn in one spot. It looks like they're doing some renovations, but no signs are up informing customers. As we did a final sweep to check for forgotten items, I noticed the mattress protector on one bed had gotten pulled out and had dried feces on it. Or what looked like feces. It was totally disgusting and we were grossed out. There was nobody at the front desk so we didn’t tell the staff. We should have taken the refund when she offered at check out and stayed somewhere else. Only reason I gave some stars was the bed were comfortable and the free breakfast was decent. Had we seen the feces on the mattress protector prior to check-out we would not have stayed.

Super gross room. Was told we were being moved rooms. Had concert tickets so just dropped our bags after we checked in and headed out the door. When we came back at midnight we discovered this is what the room looked like and there was no one at the front desk. Super disappointed. Have emailed the hotel with no response back

Upon arrival the front desk attendants were courteous and friendly. They had a fan on the countertop blowing on them to stay cool. The air conditioning was not working. The first room they sent us to was so wet from inadequate ventilation flow. The floor looked as though it was just mopped and moisture was dripping off the refrigerator and bathroom toilet and shower walls. The bedding was damp. They moved us quickly into another room which was better. However, the lights didn’t work. There were ceiling tiles removed in the hallway.
