There was no one at the reception desk when I arrived. Two other people were waiting and said they had tried the phone number posted and had been there several minutes already. The room itself was very dark. The light bulbs were low wattage and there weren't many of them. The floor I was on was the lower floor, half a flight down from the street level. The tub in the bathroom was in poor shape.

Very clean! Hotel has been updated & every thing is very nice & fresh. Hotel staff was very accommodating when the TV, refrigerator & microwave wouldn’t work. Someone had removed the adapter. The staff immediately moved us to another room across the hall. The usual breakfast which was as good as any. No charge for our dog. Will definitely stay there again

The first room we were directed to hadn’t been cleaned, so the member of staff promptly apologized and got us a key to a different room. It may have been because of the mix up that this room was less than desirable. There was no place to hang our clothes, the wiring for several of the lights was exposed, etc. There wasn’t a room number on the door, so I think they were renovating it. The most disturbing thing, though, was that there was a mystery portal in the shower, which made me suspect a camera. Creepy.

The fact that they never asked us if we wanted our room cleaned and serviced which should be standard so we came back to nothing cleaned. Then they tell us it is due to them being worried about being accused of their staff stealing is very concerning. Who do you have working there. Then like every other room had room numbers on the doors like people were living there or something weird was happening. They claimed they were being worked on. I work in the industry and never in my life have i seen that. Seems like a shady location
