The cleaning staff started way too early and were so loud you were startled awake. The walls are thin, so you hear everything above, below and next to you. Not a pleasant experience

Great area with lots of dining options. Location was great for our visit. Safe area and extra safety measures at the hotel. A little more “techy” than I was used to, but manageable. Lobby area was a great space and the bar had good selection. Beds were a little hard for my taste, otherwise great stay-would definitely choose again.

From the time we pulled into the parking lot, entered the front lobby, and entered our room, we saw nothing but filth. Outside, the sidewalk way dirty, stained, and just generally unclean. Walking into the front lobby, the area was dirty. The gathering (breakfast) area in the lobby saw dirty and torn carpet. The pullout chairs were stained and dirty. The front desk had friendly staff, but the area was cluttered and unorganized. Arriving on our floor, we exited the elevator to find a carpeted hallway that looked to be un-vacuumed for some time. The carpet was also stained and dirty, which matched the corridor walls. Once we entered the room, it was tight, to say the least. The carpet was torn, stained, and needed to he vacuumed. Found on the carpet was a pill of some sort. As we travel with a service dog, we are blessed to have found the pill and disposed of it before our dog ingested the pill and experienced a negative outcome. The bathroom was good sized and general y clean. The shower head had several different settings, but if you tried to find a different setting, it was difficult, as the shower head was not attached to the shower wall. The water was hot, however, and got the job done. We did visit the breakfast area prior to our departure from the hotel. The area, as noted earlier, was generally dirty and unappealing. Food choices were plentiful, but typical “free” breakfast items. If you want to watch TV or use the Internet, this is not the place for you. Although warne
