The room was not as shown in pictures very run down and unkempt, we had four rooms for three nights and had no hot water for the entirety one of the rooms had the look of an attempted break in so we had to switch if we could have changed hotels we would have Hotel.com should perhaps check the hotels they are promoting. I will say the man on the front desk wascvery apologetic but he seemed to be working with no back up.

Not one to usually leave a review but this was not ideal. The hotel is worn down. That doesn’t bother us as long as it is clean. However, the bathroom reeked of urine and there was hair on the sheets for the bed. The floor was also really dirty. In the morning we left for a bit and then came back and by 9 o’clock. Our keys were deactivated for our room. We had to get in the line of other guests who also had deactivated keys and couldn’t get in their rooms. In addition to that there was no hot water at all. We let the shower run for almost 10 minutes and the hot water never kicked in. When we checked out again, there were other people downstairs to complain about the hot water situation. The gentleman at the front desk was nice and apologized for everything going on. But it was not a great situation.
