Disliked: Cleanliness
The outside of the property was decent and lobby, as well as the restaurant and lounge were very nice. That's where it all ends. There was not ample parking for disabled/handicapped. My room was meh. The bathroom was disgusting. Had to fight to get the water on in the shower. The sheers behind the blackout curtain looked like several feral cats were set free and had those sheers torn to shreds, literally. I won't be staying there again. It was more like a $60 room, and that is being generous.

I have stayed there twice while dealing with my late father's assets. The first time the hallway had a strong paint smell and the room smelled musty. The second time the hallway smelled like cigarette smoke the entire stay and my bathroom sink would not drain.

It was ok. Even though I was an hour early, they made me wait until after the check-in time. Cleaning crew running late. The sheer curtain behind the black-out curtain was disintegrating/shredded. The tub needed a rubber mat. It was very slippery & I nearly fell.

Room needs updated esp. the bathroom. Heavily stained shower curtain & shower head. Just don't understand why hotels like this one don't change their dirty shower curtains frequently. They're very inexpensive but will look so much nicer. Although it's not a 5star hotel, cleanliness should ne the 1st priority.
