Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The floor was not properly installed, the floor was literally buckling up and the bathroom was not completed. The tub also would not drain so we couldn’t shower. Half the outlets in the room did not work. The beds were disgusting. There were blood stains on the mattress protector and my dog got into some old chocolate cookies left under one of the beds. It’s pretty obvious there is no cleaning done at this hotel. I wouldn’t be shocked if the sheets and comforter weren’t clean as well. The screens were broken and we weren’t able to open the windows. Very disappointing and far too expensive for the horrible conditions of the room. This place has really gone down hill over the years. I will not be back to stay here.

We took pictures because it was so bad. There was a hole in the ceiling, smoke detector covered in a plastic bag, broken lamps with pieces on the floor. Room smelled like smoke. Red splatter on the walls, phone, floor. Honestly the most disgusting and unsafe room we have ever been in.
