Just stayed here on 11/16/2024 for a maximum of 3 hours and thats all we could handle. We called them and let them know we where going to be checking in around 230am because of traffic from traveling from PA, the lady said that was no problem and can check in whenever. We got there just before 4am and the lady was very rude to my wife saying she was just about to cancel our reservation and charge us anyway for the room even tho we called and where told we could check in whenever. Now to the grossness,loud and made us leave after 3 hours. Theres lovely curse words scratched into the elevator door, paint peeling off every hallway. We get to our room and the key doesnt open the door had to get the lovely front lady. She opens the door and the sprinkler head for the fire stysem is hanging down 1ft for the ceiling with a open hole around it. The bathroom sink is just leaking water nonstop, the toilet wobbles as soon as you sit or even look at it. The rooms are paper thin and there where so many people yelling at each other we didnt feel safe at all and left after 3 hours. The bedding smelled like grease. Worse stay we have ever had at a hotel. The reviews say it wonderful have to be paid for cause nothing is correct in any of those reviews. Dont not stay here stay far far away.

However, I could not control the temperature correctly. The thermostat on the wall did not work, and the control inside the AC unit did not work correctly. The faucet in the bathroom leaked all night long. The entry door locks did not function as they should. I had to put the card in and out of the slot to make it work, even after going to the desk and getting the cards replaced. The bed is too close to the air-conditioning unit. The breakfast meat, mystery meat, needs to be replaced with actual bacon or sausage.

Overnight stay while traveling
Stopped for rest while traveling, but during the day sounded like they were jackhammering above us, which shook our room. Shower floor look old and could use a cleaning. Layed down for the night, mattress was very comfortable, but there was banging above not sure if it was a guest, sounded like someone jumping up and down, this continued all night, called front desk at 3 am, told them about the noise keeping us up, assuming something would be done, but the noise continued, then around 8 am the noise of them working on something around us started. Needless to say we did not have a good night of rest. If you want sleep, don't recommend this hotel.

When we checked in, the housekeeping supervisor yelled to the front desk clerk that room 106 was clean and ready. That’s the room the clerk put us in and it was NOT clean. There was mold in the shower and what appeared to be poop stains on one of the beds. We informed front desk and this clerk was nice and out in an order for a deep clean of our room. Sadly, that was not done. All housekeeping did was change the sheets and pulled the covers back over the bed. Didn’t even make the beds properly. Both nights there was someone above us making noise all night and it sounded like they were moving the furniture. When we checked out, I had to ask for my receipt because it was the same housekeeping supervisor that was at front desk. She charged the card for the $100 deposit instead of releasing the hold. We later found out that she never checked us out. When we called about the hold, she was very rude and when I asked to speak to a manager, she claimed to be the manager and promptly hung up on me. I cannot believe how rude she was. I will say the lobby was nice.
