I had to ask the cleaning staff to service the room the floor was dirty, I lost my first night due to a flight cancellation and upon my arrival to the second night it was humid and floors dirty. In other words no one was there the night before to have cause the floors to be dirty no air was circulating

We honestly opted to move to another hotel without complaining. There is the process of remodeling and I hope once it’s completed there will no longer be issues with the AC. This is not a reflection of the staff as they tried to make us feel comfortable

Dated, needs new lobby furniture

I was supposed to stay here on Monday 4-13-25, but it was so chaotic. Also very dated and dirty furniture in lobby, I really didn't want to go and see the room. Seemed dangerous with so many people coming and going with no visible security
