Bathroom not cleaned. Toilet had urine droplets on it and pubic hair. At check in had to wait on customer service person to you English translator via cell phone. Continental breakfast was powdered eggs and soggy sausage, considering there was a restaurant on site. Only plus, centrally location in nice area of town, but parking is difficult.

Staff is friendly, beds nice. I liked the smaller pillows with both foamier and softer filling. The room was clean, but the bathroom tub area needs an upgrade. We also thought the Ugrill restaurant right in the building was convenient and nicely priced.

The lobby was nice, but once I got up to the room and saw that it was two queen beds instead of a king I returned to the lobby and was told by the front desk that because I booked with a third-party, it couldn’t be corrected, it left me kind of frustrated. The room was gross with a stained pillow, and the bathroom was gross and I couldn’t take a shower cause I was just grossed out altogether.. it was unpleasant.

One of our rooms was VERY hot when we got there. Its the dead of summer and they had it heating..The toilet did not flush properly. It appeared as if somebody had jumped on one of the beds.
The other room we had did not have a properly functioning door. It was OPEN when we got there. Now that is quite concerning. This room was ridiculously cold.
The front desk lady had absolutely no clue what she was doing. Everyone needs to learn, yes, but give her more knowledge to work with before putting her there by herself.
