Bed was clean, even checking in late at 12:40a there were parties in rooms, check in staff was very nice, bed was clean but room smelled of old cigarettes and old vomit. I was exhausted from an 8 hour drive with no other options so I went to sleep but woke up and the smells were even stronger. Would not recommend

The property is definitely older. The bedding and towels could use an upgrade. Finding spots/stains and hair in your bedding, towels and shower (upon check-in) is definitely a turn off. Phone didn't work. Shower vent/fan was disgusting and there was mold on the ceiling. Had the 'Do Not Disturb' sign on the door the entire time and housekeeping still entered. Wouldn't stay here again.
