Dirty rooms.
Upon checking into the first room, I immediately noticed it was unkempt, with hair and fingernails scattered on the floor. I reported this issue, and the staff provided me with a different room. Unfortunately, this second room was even dirtier than the first. The bathroom had hair in both the tub and on the floor, and there appeared to be mold growing in the bathtub.

During the evening was pretty quiet and staff was friendly. Cleanliness of the room was just okay. Stains on the curtains, wall stains, musty stale smell in room. Not the worst hotel, but certainly not the highest quality either. Very middle of the market place. Surrounding area wasn’t too sketchy but wasn’t as nice as I was expecting. People smoking pot in the parking lot when we arrived was a turn off. Probably wouldn’t book here again.

Very quick overnight stay on a weekend. Check-in was smooth, the room was clean and comfortable. The bathroom (shower) was a bit dated, but otherwise a pleasant stay. Would recommend this hotel to others!

First room had a cockroach. It also had an adjoining room door. We heard and understood our next door neighbor’s phone conversation, then their chosen tv program. The cockroach put me over the edge. The desk offered a different room on a higher floor, which we accepted. As we were leaving the manager offered extra points but failed to actually put them on our account.

Was good, but before check out at 11am a housekeeper walked into our room after knocking very lightly, didn’t even think twice about the noise. My girlfriend was naked in bed and I was barely dressed. Honestly unacceptable
