Overnight stay while traveling
Stopped for rest while traveling, but during the day sounded like they were jackhammering above us, which shook our room. Shower floor look old and could use a cleaning. Layed down for the night, mattress was very comfortable, but there was banging above not sure if it was a guest, sounded like someone jumping up and down, this continued all night, called front desk at 3 am, told them about the noise keeping us up, assuming something would be done, but the noise continued, then around 8 am the noise of them working on something around us started. Needless to say we did not have a good night of rest. If you want sleep, don't recommend this hotel.

When we checked in, the housekeeping supervisor yelled to the front desk clerk that room 106 was clean and ready. That’s the room the clerk put us in and it was NOT clean. There was mold in the shower and what appeared to be poop stains on one of the beds. We informed front desk and this clerk was nice and out in an order for a deep clean of our room. Sadly, that was not done. All housekeeping did was change the sheets and pulled the covers back over the bed. Didn’t even make the beds properly. Both nights there was someone above us making noise all night and it sounded like they were moving the furniture. When we checked out, I had to ask for my receipt because it was the same housekeeping supervisor that was at front desk. She charged the card for the $100 deposit instead of releasing the hold. We later found out that she never checked us out. When we called about the hold, she was very rude and when I asked to speak to a manager, she claimed to be the manager and promptly hung up on me. I cannot believe how rude she was. I will say the lobby was nice.

Upon entering the door, the hotel is very well put together and aesthetically pleasing. The elevator was sketchy, the hallways had no air-conditioning, and the rooms even though they were recently renovated you could tell that the work was done in a rush. The bathroom was very old looking. The attempt to make it look nice could be seen, but it failed. I would not use the shower. This place has potential, but they should’ve took more time to finish the renovations before opening. The breakfast was also disappointing, but I can’t really complain about that because it was free.

Would not recommend
Paid in advance through Hotels.com. Upon checking in, we were told there would be a $100 deposit on our credit card, but would be credited within 5-7 business days after checking out. We were charged a $2.00 fee on the credit card. We did not authorize this nor were we told about it. The first room had no remote for the TV. My husband got one at the front desk. It didn't work. He was told to try another room. It did work, but the AC did not. Had to move to a different room on the 1st floor. There was no toilet paper holder installed. The bathroom door knob was loose. There was no cold water in the sink. My husband had to adjust the knob under the sink and then water started leaking. Our room faced the front of the hotel and parking lot. In the middle of the night, people were talking so loud that it woke us up. Worst hotel we've ever stayed in and would never go back.
