None of the ice machines had ice. There were 3 different machines and at least one should have been working. The staff did provide us with ice from the office. It was clean but I did see a few cockroaches.

It’s needs a complete remodel. The bath tub felt like it would cave in. The bath vent sounded like a Harley motorcycle and it did not work. Room smelled of mildew. Glad it was just a quick over night stay.

Water turned off for several hours when we arrived but that was due to a busted pipe which did get fixed by the evening. Otherwise all was good.

The room was very clean. The elevator didn’t work and I was on the third floor. The young man at the desk did help get our suitcase up the stairs, but there was a dog in the room next door that whimpered all night. The man a the front desk was helpful in getting my clothes washed. Over all I would stay there again.

We could not stay! A roach met us when we opened the door! There was a dead roach on the sink! The cardboard bed would not suffice for sleeping. The tissue rolls had been half used; no new rolls installed. The room smelled horrible!
