"Overall pretty great place to stay. The breakfast was better than most hotel breakfast I’ve had. They also have a decent fitness area which I appreciated and used. The room was clean and perfect temp when we walked in. Big tv and easy to use. The only issue we seemed to notice was the tub. We only showered but the center of our tub was so concaved it was very difficult to shower. Also like no water pressure. Idk if it was just our specific room or what. Besides that great place to stay."

Every hallway was dirty or torn apart, the whole place wreaked of cigarettes, and after five seconds in our room my children and I were completely covered in flea and we had to stand In the parking lot and spray all of our stuff and ourselves before we could even go back into our vehicle. My children are traumatized and we’re crying and are now covered in bites all over their legs. This place should be condemned and torn down. The staff...
"You get what you pay for . No daily cleaning room service . Not even taking the trash out ( we had to do it ourselves for several days )!
Broken shower head ! They had to replace the mini fridge since it was broken . And they charged my card 1 extra time for deposit ( they said it didn’t go through ) and I have made 100 calls so far for return . Will never stay here again"
