Never stay when construction is going on
They were doing construction on the rooms above us. Much banging and loud noises at all hours of the day or night. They should have informed us of this and asked if we wanted another room. They just saw senior citizens and didn't care.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
The room smelled of stale smoke, but there was no opportunity to switch. A used towel from a previous guest was left in the bathroom. Noise from the upper floor room was very loud stsrting early in the morning. Parking was a challenge. I wish i could say something more positive, but this was a disappointing stay.

The room was dirty and you could hear the people in the rooms on each side of you. You could hear everything going on in the parking lot in front of your room. The shower made a loud noise when you would turn it on and the bed was terrible.
