Ugh!

While the room looked like it had been update, the room wasn’t very clean. I walked barefoot in the room and the bottom of my feet were black. I didn’t even shower while there as I was concerned about the cleanliness.

Great service but a little skimpy on conveniences

Overall very friendly staff. The bathroom the doesn’t have a hook for bath towels. The toilet wasn’t caulked, so at the right angle a little bit of water would leak. No bags in the trash cans.

Shower was broken and was told it would be fixed by the time we returned from the marathon, but the guy didn’t show up to fix it. The manager tried to fix it but totally broke it. Had to change rooms without compensation. No bedside reading lights. Washcloths had holes in them. No blackout shades and shutters let light in all night from outside. Extremely expensive for what you get…motel 6 quality hotel
