The bathroom in my room #416 was terrible. There was soooo much caulking around the bottom of the tub it looked it was holding it in place. The shower head was barely holding on and the water pressure was even worse. The hotel really needs some updating. The carpet in my room was heavily stained which I'm guessing was with coffee because of whr the stains were.

Staff was great and hotel lobby is nice. The room wasn’t so great though. Had a crinkled lamp shade, lob sided couch with one broken leg, stains on the floor, weird smell from the bathroom and deposit was confusing. Almost was charged a $1000 for two nights.

The second night there was a dog barking nonstop next door. I did not reach out until it was bedtime due to trying to be understanding.. the dog bark continually from 10 o’clock on all night. And woke up everybody again at 7 AM. I contacted the hotel at night. They said they could not reference where the sound was coming. Did not try to resolve anything. At around 11:30pm they told me I could switch room rooms. I don’t think that was very sensible regarding the fact we were not the one with the dog, but we were expected to pack up a room and switch room rooms before any other resolution.
