I realize they are under new management and trying to renovate. But basic cleanliness was missing. There were fresh linens in our room, but otherwise it was obvious that it hadn’t been cleaned. Dead bugs and dirt on the floor, the toilet bowl still had things stuck to it from the last guests. No soap, single roll of toilet paper was almost empty, and shower curtain was moldy. Again, I understand renovation messes, but this went beyond that

Not clean at all, smells terrible had to buy my own air freshener and candles. Got moved from 1 room to another because the tv didn’t work and the second room looked like the door lock was tampered with. Booked for 2 nights and the second day i was woken up out my sleep by an employee asking why haven’t i checked out yet and I still had an entire day left.

Did not look like pictures, so many things broken or out of order. I picked it for the breakfast they didn’t even have coffee at 6:30 and the coffee maker in room was dirty and broke. Bedding had stains and the tub wouldn’t drain. It was otherwise clean no bugs At least.
