House keeping did not refresh our room. Our room key did not work on the 2nd day when we returned to stay there. They gave us another room but there were no shower curtains, no hair dryer, no blankets. The hotel is in very poor condition

This property is conveniently located and was very clean. I thought it was a good value for the price. Staff was friendly and room was spacious. Only minor complaint is that the hallway smelled strongly of smoke, but room did not.

I have stayed at this property multiple times and it’s worth the money for sure. The rooms are decent the property is kept up and the staff is overall , very nice. I say overall only because this last time I stayed there, we ordered Rosati’s for dinner and they didn’t include salt or pepper so I asked the second shift person for a single pack of pepper and he responded that it would be available the following morning when they have breakfast out. Keep in mind, we have stayed at this particular establishment 6-7 times over the past few weeks and I was asking for a pack of pepper not for breakfast. He really told me no regarding something that would have taken less time to grab it than responding with that answer. No he didn’t have to say sure I’ll grab you a pack or let me use the bottle for two seconds , he did not owe me but I’m quite sure management would have honored my request as it was not that big of a deal . It rubbed me the wrong way because of how he said it as well. I wasn’t rude in responding , but customer service is everything in today’s world. That being said, I think the other staff members are great especially the manager and the rooms are not 5 star rooms but surely nice enough to stay in and definitely worth the money.

There was some mildew on the mattress, pub hair on the toilet, someone tried to open our door, and there were snot on the mattress under the protective cover, and the fridge in the room didn't even work. We let someone know about the fridge but nothing was done with it.
