The property is old and dated. When we arrived and checked, the lady at the front desk gave us the room key. Then we went to our room, the key didn’t even worked. We went back downstair, the lady at the front desk said she send someone to fix it, but the gentlemen could not fix it. Then he decided to move us to a different room. But this room, the condition was worst it the other one. The carpet was old and disgusting, and the chair was ripped, the room view on this one was facing was terrible. The bed was not comfortable and the bedding was smell bad. The only thing we like is the water pressure was good.

Old dirty run down hotel. "I'm scared of taking off my shoes in the room" kinda place. I was disappointed not to find a dead body under my bed. I had to stay the night. It was late. The staff was nice though. They didn't make a fuss about canceling the rest of my reservation. I guess you get what you pay for...

Room was dirty (crumbs, hair, nail clippings) and reeked of smoke (non-smoking room). Heating system alternated between aggressively shooting (very) warm and (very) cold air, apparently in an attempt to hit a happy medium in the 70-degree range. Phone and hairdryer were both broken. Trash can at the elevator hall was overflowing for 2 days. Garage was downright scary with gaping holes in the concrete floor. Signs say that the property is being upgraded but that doesn’t explain this experience.

17.00 dollars a day for parking, the garage for parking was full of scaffolding. No help at the door to enter, restaurant wasn't open and breakfast was a la carte, pay for each piece. The picture doesn't show the condition of the building as it looks in disrepair on the outside. I cancelled my reservation and went elsewhere.
