Megan

Disliked: Cleanliness
The front door to the building is hanging open, so it does not feel very secure or safe. When I walked by the lobby at midnight and again early in the morning, there was nobody there to view visitors. The room was okay. The bathroom floor was very sticky - I put towels down so I didn't have to walk on it.

The whole hotel had an odd smell, kinda musty and there was a full trash can on our floor that was not taken out the 2 days we stayed there. There was mold in the shower and our room had an unsettling smell as well. The staff was very nice and helpful when our room key did no work multiple times throughout our stay. Honestly would not stay here again.

Lobby had a weird smell kind of butter scotch maybe for Fall but it was overwhelming upon entry to the hotel. Room had muddy carpet, damp bath towels and empty shower gel. Shower was good, tv good, refrigerator froze all our drinks but fine. Price was okay on a game weekend. Hotel was filled with a construction crew and they were fine but everywhere. All corners of the hotel had exits and smokers..

The hotel is nice but we didn’t sleep. The next door neighbors to your right were arguing all night. The walls in our room is very thin. You can hear people talking on the other side of the room.
