Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities

The first room I was given was absolutely disgusting. It smelled like smoke and the walls had a film of nicotine as if someone had been smoking in there for years even though the establishment was “smoke free”. I told the front desk and he showed me other empty rooms and allowed me to choose. Customer service was great thought. New room still had dingy sheets with cigarette burns in it. Homeless people stay around the hotel as well.

Not a Boutique Hotel.

Pet friendly. Should not be charging a resort fee. Thin, thin, thin walls and loud guests. Friendly front staff. No daily housekeeping, coffee machine or hair dryer. No bugs but interior falling apart - sheets and towels were clean though. Disappointed by how much I paid.
