The room was OK - clean but worn down. The bathroom was a different story. The shower/tub had discolorations in the tub and on the walls. The caulking was flaking away in many places. The bottom of the door (on the bathroom side) was showing much wear - the paneling was actually splitting off. It was OK for a quick one night stay so I didn't have to drive home in the dark and snow. The whole place looks tired and could use some love.
This room was a MESS. It looked in the middle of renovation. There was wet drywall mud. The handle for the faucet in the bathroom was MISSING. The door had red liquid running down it. The nightstand was broken. There was old coffee from a prior stay under the lamp. Cracks in the walls and old deywall dust on the floors. Heater stopped working in the middle of the night. Pics were taken before staying.

The room was okay but the bathroom was terrible. The bathtub had paint chips and would not keep water in the tub, when u stepped out into the hallway from our room all u could do was smell dog urine. The pool was on the 5th floor not heated like it stated and there was gum stuck all over the cement that was around the pool area, the so called arcade area there was a ripe in the pool table velt so u couldn’t play pool and that was the only thing in the arcade area , the picture so more games, and there was no gym as well like pictures showed. They need to update their pictures, and also let ppl know they charge a deposit yes you get it back but still need to let ppl know. The breakfast is as not good either, their so called donuts were hard, along with the bagels they served. The hotel was more less for the homeless ppl in GR, which nothing against them but they need to do better.
manger was very rude even after i feel from no salt on snow he still proceeded to tell a lady that had nothing to to due with the conversation to shut up she was being to loud when she was only talking to her husband
Stef was nice. But the room was so dirty and there was literally no breakfast. Except for cereal and a couple muffins.

The bed was big and comfy the pillows could have been a little thicker and they say room service every two days but nobody ever came up to exchange the towels or linens the whole time I was there. But all in all it wasn't too bad. Have to remember you get what you pay for. So for $430 for 8 days it wasn't too bad for the price
Everything was wrong with this place. No tissues box, broken and clogged faucet. Clogged toilet. Dirty sink counter. Unlocked door in between rooms. No telephone to call downstairs. The tv remote did not work, only a few different channels available to watch. No wifi password given. Had to beg for a couple extra towels. Was denied extra pillows for the king bed. Vending machines were either sold out or kept my money. The game room advertised, wasn't available.
