Unfortunately this Hotel could be nice but if the facility had operative items. Hotel is very dated and had a smoky smell in hall ways. Elevators were broke. This was very bad for my elderly parents to do stairs. Tv remotes were not working in rooms. New staff unaware how to help the with TVs.

The room was perfect. The only thing that bothered me was the noise. Well after 10 pm people were running up and down the hallway, yelling, knocking on doors etc. This hotel is very nice, the staff is excellent, only issue to have is with some who stay there not being considerate of others.

Wynesha

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
This was a horrible stay we had a room for two days the first day the toilet was broken, the room phone was broken, the TV was broken, the wifi wasn't working, the sheets was stained, we was on the 3rd floor and even the damn elevator was broken they didn't even state that before booking. So we had to walk up and down three flights of stairs each time to get to and from our room and to top it all off we didn't get another room due to all the issues with the one that assigned to us until the next day at noon and they wouldn't even compensate partially for their mishaps just DIGUSTING 0/10 WOULDN'T RECOMMEND!!!
