The lobby was really nice so I assumed the updated lobby set the tone of the room, however the room was awful. The bedding was just sheets and they looked worn and not so clean, the headboard had some weird stuff smeared on one of the queen beds, it smelled terrible and the carpet was gross and the door had a gap along the bottom where unwanted bugs could come in. Also we were in the end unit and outside the door were two rocking chairs chained down and a random guy was sitting there drinking beers so it didn’t feel safe.

**Hotel Review: 3 Stars** I recently stayed at this hotel and gave it a 3-star review primarily due to cleanliness issues. Unfortunately, our room had stained sheets, towels, and a dirty tub, which detracted from our overall experience. The breakfast setup was also disappointing, as it was behind a counter and offered very limited options. On a positive note, the staff were friendly and accommodating, which made our stay more pleasant. With improvements in cleanliness and breakfast offerings, this hotel could greatly enhance the guest experience.

I work in this area, and bring my meals for thw time i stay, during first day there, the cleaning services unplugged my fridge, and when i got to my room that night all my meals for weekend were spoiled! I told the front desk, and she literally said "ok" like had no reponse. Gee thanks. 4 days of food in the bin and no apology or anything. So yeah, glad it wasnt anything important, like life saving insulin.
