The service was decent. Hotel room was not the cleanest. Towels are fine example of not crispy white. Bed covers had some stains, floor was slippery. Overall you get what you paid for.

May want to rethink this decision
Hideous--floor was soaking wet when I checked in, towels were damp and never dried out, blood on bedspread, dark icky large spot on blanket, funky smell from not so clean cleaning products. Walls were paper thin and man next door started screaming Oh My God at 4:00 in the morning and there was some kind of fight in the parking lot after 11:00. NEVER again

We stayed here to go to a concert and check in is at 3. I arrived around 3:30 and was told it would be 45 minutes to an hour until it was ready. I came back an hour later and he asked if I was going to the concert, when I said yes he asked if I would care to check in after the show.. around midnight. I said absolutely not and then it was ready in about 10 minutes. I understand staffing issues are pretty common these days, but it’s ridiculous to think check in 9 hours after the normal time for the normal price is fine. The room was pretty clean, but the front desk was not helpful at all. The price and location to the venue were reasonable.

Nice place
We were on the second floor. The room was perfectly fine and clean. The only downside I had was the toilet really didn’t flush so well. And on the second day, my shower started warm quickly went cold and then I had to finish taking an ice cold shower, no matter how much I moved it over to the hot so that I did not enjoy.

The staff was not very knowledgeable and the hotel room that we got first had neighbors that live there and were engaging in recreational activities. We asked to move which they obliged but a lot of technical issues. I would not recommend this hotel.

Pest control please
I've stayed at this property several times in the past and never had any issues. However the hotel now has roaches. And enough of them that they don't seem to mind there are people moving around etc. They just scurry right beside you. O was afraid they would get in my luggage and I would take them home with me!

Pretty crappy
They were still cleaning the rooms at 3:30 when I tried to check in. I asked to just get the room key since I wouldn't need the room until late. When I returned at night I walked in to find they gave my room to someone else. They got me a new room that ended up not having any soap or shampoo.

I used their towels and bought my towels with me. The smoke Alarms were going off on 2nd night from 2 am till 8ish next morning. On and off . . I called front desk from cell phone because no working phone in room. I even put rolls of poop bags in 2 of the reciprocals... There were none

Room had mold, roaches, flies, and all kinds of nasty things. Sink, toilet, and shower/bath were all broken and leaking. Never received any kind of housekeeping services for my entire stay. Then I was only partially refunded my deposit, after being charged an extra day because of a late check in (delayed flights, out of my hands). Absolutely do not recommend.
