It took three tries to get a working room. The first had no shower curtain or rod, but the pieces were there. Shower was coming off wall. Second room had nonstop water coming out of tub, it couldn’t be turned off and was loud and a lot. Final room had hair on bathroom counter and dirty towel under sink but by this point front desk had said if it didn’t work there was nothing else. We asked for more towels later on (room only had one) but they never arrived. It’s sad because location is decent but that’s about it.

It was the least expensive and now I know why! The room was embarrassing. I mean, how can the owner of the property, charge money for rooms that are in such poor condition? Terrible.

I was traveling in for an afternoon event and called days in advance to see if early check in was possible so I could dress in the room. Over the phone I was told it wouldn’t be an issue, and while they couldn’t guarantee in advance, that they would make a note in my reservation and if something came up, there would at least be a space on the property where I could dress and drop my bags. When I arrived and asked politely about early check in, I was treated so rudely by the front desk staff. It was frankly the rudest I’ve ever been treated by a hospitality staffer. I was not allowed to finish a sentence, and was told under no condition could I check in, get dressed, or even drop my bag. I don’t mind not being able to accommodate a request, that is merely inconvenient, but the rudeness with which I was treated was completely unacceptable.

The room was not as advertised at all. Had a full bed instead of a queen, the AC unit had no knobs on it to adjust and it was unplugged. I had to plug it in to turn on and then no adjustments were possible. No screen on the window. Homeless looking man just hanging out in the parking lot. There was a very small TV but no cable hooked up even though there was a cable box. I tried to call the front desk but, surprise! the room phone didn't work either. We could not leave fast enough.

I read the previous reviews and was skeptical of making the reservation. The pricewasright for 2 nights, however on checking in the 1st room weweregiven was not cleaned. 2nd room, theA/C did not work. The 3rd room was a handicapped room and was fine. Very big. However, when we showered in the tub, it did not drain. The next morning there was still waterin the tub. I leave early in the morning and there is no staff until 6 am. So I called in with the issue. They graciously gave us another room for the 2nd day. However, the next 3 rooms did not have a working A/C. Finally on the 4th room, it worked. It does not appear any maintenance is being done on the rooms and they are in bad shape. The staff was pleasant and helpful. But the condition of the property is bad. At least the 6 rooms we could not stay in. And, on my way to the 2nd floor, the elevatored stopped suddenly. Now no working elevator for the rest of the stay. I am working in the area, but will not be booking a room there. So, I experienced most of the things that other reviews mention. Just be aware if you book a room, you may to to keep changing to get one that is fully functioning.
