The gal who checked me in told me the room I booked wasn’t available and just switched me and didn’t give me the option to get my money back. She yawned the entire time I was at the desk then didn’t explain how to get to my room. Room was decent, was cleaned but had a musty smell. The door lock didn’t latch great and no second lock on the door so it was not a real comfortable night

The rooms were clean and the beds comfortable. The pillows weren’t so great, unfortunately. The hotel is older, but is in a nice, good condition. Avoid the nasty laundry, though!!

Check in was very friendly and the hotel lobby is very nice. When I got to my room at first impression it did seem clean. Bathroom was clean and floors were clean throughout. But I turned down the first bed and noticed the sheets were dirty - lots of hair and food crumbs. Turned down the second bed and it was even worse - found hair and blood on sheets. I was too tired from traveling to request a room change so I slept on top of bedding in my full clothing because the sheets were so gross. I even kept my sweatshirt hoodie on because the pillowcases were also dirty and I didn’t want my head to touch them. Needless to say, I didn’t get much sleep in these conditions and I would not stay here again.
