Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
I arrived late and got a room. When I pulled the covers for the bed I realized there are many hair pieces underneath it. Called them and they replaced the room with an attitude. Next room's bedding was clean at least but there was mold growing on soap dispenser, 1 of the pillows had a black mark, mini fridge was making weird noises all night. I used the ironing board and to my suprise cut myself with it because there was a metal piece poking out from the fabric. And lastly I found a empty bottle of FIREBALL in the room. Overall very dissapointed. I have pictures of all these issues.

The room was very clean the only thing is that the hotel needs to change to a better mattress. The mattress was a little hard.

Liked: Cleanliness
Room was basic and clean. Shower was nice. Breakfast was a joke, you could have: a microwaved biscuit sandwich, a truck stop pastry, or a banana. Juice or Water was extra. Definitely not a breakfast and not worth the markup on the room. Property needs a new coat of paint.
