Room floors were a little dirty and breakfast seemed like it was reheated. Staff member that checked us in asked us what we were in town for, but then seemed completely uninterested in our reply… so like why even ask? Overall though, it was an okay experience.

No TV service when we checked in did come back on for the next day when we were leaving anyhow. Breakfast wasnt stocked and became a zoo of people waiting around. Room wasnt as pictured when I booked it. Booked king suite with full sized fridge, table and chairs, etc. Was given a room without those things. Walls not soundproof.

Breakfast? There was nothing, not even coffee. The room smelled bad, the bathtub was peeling, and the floor was very dirty, especially around the bed. I easily saw dead bugs.
