The front desk staff were super friendly and every employee we passed in the halls greeted us warmly. The lobby of the hotel is lovely and it appears they’re making an effort to improve. Our room was a king studio suite which we chose over other hotels for the kitchen feature. The kitchen was extremely clean and refrigerator/freezer, table, chairs etc. perfect for our needs. The bed and linens were also clean. The major problems were the smell of the hotel and room once you left the main lobby - the whole place basically smells musty and although we had a non-smoking room, you could tell people had definitely been smoking in there. It is also a pet friendly hotel which I hadn’t realized before, so I did see cats in windows when we pulled up and as someone with allergies I wish this had been made very clear before booking. I mentioned this at the front desk and the nice woman gave us a room on the 3rd floor noting that it’s less used for people with pets, which was somewhat accommodating and helpful. Though I did see a cat on the third floor so it does happen. The carpets around the hotel and in the room are pretty gross so I recommend slippers for walking around your room. The bathroom itself is pretty nice and modern but there was hair in the shower and behind the toilet. There is as others have mentioned some mold in the showers. Immediate area a little sketchy, loud highway, but tons of food and shopping. Not Marriott quality but will do, ask for 3rd floor.
