Just awful. The hotel needs a complete facelift. The carpet in the room was so dirty that walking on it turned the bottom of our feet black. The bathroom was worn and sketchy cleaned The whole room just felt dirty. Hallways looked worn and smelled like old (if you know that expression you know what I’m talking about ). The lady at front desk did her job but was not welcoming and acted like she was doing us a favor by talking to us. Look elsewhere for a hotel

Our room wasn't ready so we were told that someone would call when it was ready. So we walked around and went to a coffee shop for awhile, about an hour and a half or more. Nobody called so we went back to the hotel to see if it was ready. It was. We were given 2 keys that did not work. The girl at the desk gave us new keys. They didn't work either so they called maintenance to help out. Andrew gave us a key that worked. Next, the television didn't work. We called and they said they would send maintenance. Nobody came so I went to the front desk again and they called maintenance again. Andrew came and fixed the tv. Andrew was doing many jobs so they must have been understaffed. I would give the staff high ratings for being friendly and doing the best they could do with long lines. The cleanliness of the room was just fair. The floors were dirty. One of the lights by the bed did not work. The lobby needs to be spruced up so it's a nice place to sit while waiting. For the prices charged for a room, the whole place could use a facelift where people feel good to be here. Cleanliness and ambiance would be good for starters.
