2/10 Terrible

Melissa

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
First of all the service in general was terrible. The guys at the front desk were very rude and ignorant. I was supposed to stay there for 2 nights with some people but only ended up staying for 1 night because we found bed bugs in our bed. So as soon as we noticed that we were out of there. No way we were going to stay there. The beds were so hard and uncomfortable and the blinds were broken so the light from the street was shining in our room the entire night. The handle to the shower was very hard to turn on so we had a hard time in the shower. The overall experience was just horrible and I will never stay at this property again.
This is the bed bug that we had found in our room and one of the beds had about 5 or 6 of them crawling around on the bed and pillows. Disgusting

Hidden fees galore. Staff have terrible attitude and our borderline hostile. Will never stay here again and wouldn’t recommend it to someone I dislike. There is onsite parking that you must pay for. Claim to be pet friendly but have multiple hidden fees for pets. Only one entrance. Says breakfast included but only serve bagels. The property is in a rundown neighborhood. Horrible. Can I give them zero stars?

It was okay for the price. Surrounding neighborhood area is a little rough. We had a basic room. One bad thing was it's two floors and the layout was like an apartment complex. People upstairs were heavy footed and we had to deal with the walking around and thumping from the ceiling.

My overall experience was good. The room and bathroom were clean. Another thing I enjoyed was the hot tub and swimming pool. Though the breakfast was not what I had expected. They served beagles, yogurt, granola bars, coffee, and juice. I have stay in other hotels and they offered eggs, sausage, cereal, fruits, etc. Other than that everything was good.

Bait and switch with the offer of parking but then charge for it. Also, the hotel staff only clean some of the rooms (and not ours). The breakfast wasn't good. But they still charge a lot of money per night.
