We stayed one night. The front desk clerk ( I forgot his name but he’s an older black man) that was there when we arrived was nice and straight to the point. The room we had had dead roaches in the cabinets, and the walls are thin. You can basically hear everything from other guests. When we were leaving the morning clerk (older white lady) was almost harassing a guest to hurry up and check out. She was at their door basically almost trying to put them out even after the guests told her ok give them time. The manager set at the front desk, heard the exchange, and did nothing. Yea, we won’t be back and don’t recommend
They advertise an indoor pool but….. the windows and doors to the outside were broken letting all the cold air in. Water was murky and it looked like no one had vacuumed the pool in a LONG time! Unusable! And there’s no USB plugs in the room to charge your phone!! Rooms otherwise were fine ( except for a filthy microwave, which I never used.) Breakfast was average but for this older hotel I was surprised there were hot options at all! I’d say pay a little more and go to the Drury Inn next door!
It is located in a comfortable place, the breakfast 10/10. The rooms are large and comfortable but they should improve the details in cleaning. The curtains in the rooms have fungus on the edges,The air conditioners need to be cleaned on the windows, and the bathroom extractor is full of dust. Apart from that, it's not bad at all for what you need.
Sliding doors were broken in the pool area they were left open, the main doors to go outside from the pool area were broken, our sink was broken in the room, a towel had a big brown stain on it. Our dead bolt wouldn’t lock in the room. No refund or discount.
