The whole place smelled like stale cigarettes. While the beds were comfy I don’t believe that the sheets had been washed due to an odd looking stain that I’m sure you can just take a guess as to what it is . Terrible experience overall

Horrible experience there, Last Sunday while in the lobby I could hear a lady screaming vulgar words at what seemed to be other people in a room in the back, They have a laundry area and it seemed to be coming from that area, second visit and it seems not much has changed this time I was able to see that the ladys name was kathy if you speak spanish you would be ashamed at the vulgar words you could here, very unprofessional why should guest have to hear workers speak this way? Is this really a place you would want to spend your hard earned money at? I wouldn't and its embarrassing to even see people be this comfortable degrading others. Management really needs to step their game up as someone who manages my own local I'd be ashamed if the people I oversee ever felt as if they could not come to me with issues as I would not take them serious. Nobody deserves to be treated as less and I wonder how long this has been going on as in the manner it was and the loudness of it shows the woman has no shame. It makes my blood boil hoping the owner scouts his/her people better, because when you have people like that in a work place Goodluck.

Very noisy room on 3 rd floor. Hard to sleep even with earplugs. No microwave in room, but a cooktop. Staff is all new and could not provide code to use computer in lobby. Also, when I have the AM desk clerk my last name & room #, she called me the incorrect name.
Checking out early
No bugs, room clean

DO NOT STAY HERE!!! Room was infested with roaches, went down to the desk and they tried to offer a "discount"... no refund. This was not one or two, this was behind pictures, in the closet, in the bathroom, on countertops... EVERYWHERE. Promptly left and changed hotels

I was excited to stay here because I knew it was newly renovated. No sooner than I stepped into the room, there was a German Cockroach on the wall by the kitchen. Instant sign to stay away. We will never book again. Room number 415.
