KENNETH

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The first room we were given smelled like somebody spilled a bottle of perfume and detergent in it together. The second room was across the hall on the highway side. It was noisy from the traffic and all night long we heard people in the hallways talking and yelling and also constant door slamming. We did not sleep at all and the stay was ruined! Management told us to complain to Expedia when we went down to the front desk to discuss the problems and we checked out early and booked another location for that night.
