Tired it…. Left it
We chose this location from the photos and some of the reviews. We got to the hotel at 930pm and people had their room doors open and playing loud music and drinking. The beds felt’s like sleeping on the ground. The TV did not work. It would freezes every 60 sec or just go out. We booked for two nights. The next morning housekeeping opened our room door and closed it when they saw us. My husband asked what was going on and they asked she asked us when we were leaving? Really? The ceiling in the bathroom was peeling. We went the front desk to get change for a 20 to get sodas from the vending machine and were told no. They needed their change for guest paying cash for their room. We came back the next day from an event to find 4 men’s sitting on the walkways outside drinking beer and loud music playing. Again, at 830pm. We packed our stuff and left. Cut our trip short and came home. It was hard to talk to the front desk because they acted confused or just didn’t listen.

I picked this location for the pictures provided but it did not match. My mom got bed bug bites and we saw bugs in the bathroom. Thankfully we stayed only a night but we left in the morning eager to leave. The lady at the front was the most positive thing because she was very nice and helpful.

Bed Bugs live and dead
Bed Bugs, live and dead in our room on pillows and under the bed valance sheets. Collected some dead ones and brought them to conscierge and the young lady was utterly unplussed to see them: I can't do nothing, my manager is not in until Monday morning.
