This place needs some serious cleaning. All the doors have black fingerprints on them. The paint job looks like a 5 year old did it. The bed was comfortable and we did get a ride to the airport.

The breakfast buffet was great!! The room reeked of vinegar, though and baseboards were coming off the walls. Seemed kind of dingy. And the reason we booked this hotel was the free airport shuttle, but apparently that stopped at 5 PM so we were not able to use it for our evening flight.

Ho hum

Single night stay. This hotel is tired and in desperate need of some refurbishments. Also had an odd odor. The faucet in the tub/shower dripped all night long and thus had to shut the door. And it didn’t feel clean.

Just okay

The stay was just okay. Do able for a one late night stay. The staff were amazing. But as soon as we got on the elevator it smelled of weed and to the second floor and it smelled bad as well. Even in our room it smelled bad like stale cigarettes . The hotel needs a major updating. Chipping paint and stains all over the walls. Our sheets were clean thankfully but curtains were stained and around the tub the caulk was missing/ dirty looking. It’s one of the most unkept hotels I’ve stayed in but for a one night quick stay it was fine. Breakfast in the morning was nothing special. We grabbed muffins and bagels to go.

Couldn’t pay me to go back

Entire hotel smells like cigarettes. We found a ton on trash underneath the bed and almost every member of staff I spoke with had a bad attitude. I called 10 minutes after leaving the property informing them I left something in the room and they assured me housekeeping would bring it to them. I called later to verify they had it and they claimed to call back nothing was found. I called three days in a row and no one was willing to help me.
