My room was dirty. Food crumbs under the desk, clump of what I hope was human hair under the chair, every horizontal surface had a very visible layer of dust, hair on shower floor because the drain was clogged and the phone didn’t work

Oct 14, 2025

It took 25min for a person to show for a late check-in. I called the reception, knocked at the staff door and there was no answer for 25 min. Room was dirty: I found food/crap in the shower, on TV and on the wall. Batteries in the thermostat were low (visible warning) and died during the night leaving the AC unit on heat, I replaced them with the ones from the TV remote which were also low. I used batteries from my mouse. The hotel needs new management.

the staff was friendly, but the toilet handle was not put on properly and we had to lift the lid to constantly prevent the tank from constantly running

STUART, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Sep 14, 2025

The sheets were dirty. We had to ask for them to change them because they were full of black hair. The toilet was cracked, the rug was stained, and the floors in the hall had wrappers and other trash, which stayed throughout the weekend.

Jessica, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Aug 31, 2025

Front desk staff was rude and doing us a favor by checking us in. The disdain on the face was so apparent. Booked two rooms and asked if they can be on the same floor. Not even an effort to look for options. And the patronizing tone.
