The rooms were not as bekannt as they could be. I read reviews saying this place had gone under recent renovations & they need to continue updating the rooms & the elevator. I was placed into a dirty room, then given a 2nd room that had stained sheets & a hole in the comforter to sleep in. I was then placed in a 3rd room. The tubs were rusted,towels stained, & the rooms were not as cleaned as I would have liked. The staff was reason & understanding. They did the best they could with what they had to provide me a welcoming stay. The staff were great but the hotel needs to be renovated. & yes there definitely was a mildewy weird smell throughout the hotel.

The whole hotel smelled like smoke. My husband has asthma so it was a huge challenge. No breakfast as advertised. Fitness area was like a storage area with machine not even built yet. Rooms were good. Other than thin towels with dark stains on them.
I was giving a room with ants in it. Did he switch my room and it was roaches there’s roaches every day everywhere in the bathroom they got in my luggage. I don’t like roaches.

They asked for a 50 dollar deposit then turned around n kept it saying I smoked in the room when I didnt
Sheets were dirty and staff was not helpful at all. Mold was in the tub and there was no microwave so I had to go to the lobby to warn up my food. The TV remote didn't work for the TV so I couldn't watch anything
