One of the beds did not appear clean. I slept in a blanket I had in my car. The fridge/ freezer was wobbly, and the microwave had, maybe pizza, splattered around inside. Very disappointing. The building itself was very nice looking and staff were friendly. Very nice looking amenities in the building. Overall building and staff was good but our room was gross!

The bathroom was tiny & the sink was so tiny aith no counter space. Couldnt even put stuff on the toilet as it had NO toilet lid! Bogus old machine A/C too! No thermostat! The front desk told me it had not been updated since the 1980's!! And this was rated a 4 star?

Overall it seemed like no one really cared. No one at the front desk for almost an hour at prime check in, housekeeping not following protocol in supplying the rooms, and just a general feeling of unwelcomeness. On a good note, the bartender was amazing and breakfast was very good.

The bar tender was awesome! But the receptionist not so much. Dirty room and I had to change my own sheets and pillows cases. Hopefully they can improve because my experience was not the best there.

Got to my room and tried watching tv. It wouldn’t turn on so I Asked the cleaning people for help. They called maintenance and they never showed up. I tried calling the front desk after 90 minutes and no one answered. They switched my king room for 2 queens. Bathtub was not clean. Was told I would get a 50% discount but would have to contact hotels.com and they would contact the hotel for the discount. Still waiting to hear.
