Just average. Not run down but doesn’t have that new and crisp clean feeling either. The one thing that bothered me the most is when the AC unit turned on it produced a smell in the room.

2 weeks ago we stayed at a hotel that cost about the same but was NOTHING of what the pictures looked like. I was terrified. I was anxious about this hotel but it was 1000 times better. I will say there was a lamp that was out and the entire outlet didn’t work either but we didn’t even care. It was a wonderful weekend with a relaxing stay. Thank you!

They only clean the rooms upon request. The shower faucet was loose so it was difficult to adjust water temp. The beds where old and smelled mildewy

Our room, Rm 203, was way heavily deodorized where I wasn't sure if I could take the odor. Awful. Windows were filthy. I won't stay under those conditions in the future. Parking lot lighting was poor. That's unsafe.
