As we entered there was a large sign stating-This is a non-smoking facility(?) As soon as you enter the bldg it smelled like smoke. When we get to our room there is a small sign on the door stating "This is a non-smoking room". Upon entry it smelled like smoke. Not happy. We did bring our dog (beagle) so the room was pet friendly. I would rather the room smell like a dog than smell like smoke. We endured it since there are limited pet-friendly rooms. Other than the smell the room was clean and beds comfortable. My only other comment - The door to enter our section of the hotel had a magnetic swipe to use your hotel key. The door was ALWAYS open, not requiring your hotel key. I feel this is a safety hazard. ANYONE could enter the hotel.

Hallway’s and side entrances need new carpeting and care, in general. Breakfast is subpar, there is little selection and only one woman bears the responsibility of it.

Disgusting
This hotel was crummy. Homeless people with carts around the parking area. Doors to outside had broken locks and people were getting into the halls. Lots of “long term tenants”. Smoking in the halls, despite being non-smoking. Rooms were filthy, hair and residue in bathrooms, dirty sheets.

Sink broken in bathroom, someone broke something outside my room, sticky & broken glass .- not cleaned up for several hours. No ice bucket. Had to ask several times. Overall service poor. The girl handling the front desk did all she could do until “management “ came in. Not a place I would stay again. The room should not have been rented out in the condition it was in.
