Wet Stinky Room
My room had a bad smell and the carpet was very wet. The manager said the shower leaked while I was in it and I told him absolutely not. The room was wet upon us entering it. Didn’t feel like arguing with him!

Hello Saudia,Thank you for sharing your stay experience. Our team is committed in delivering excellent services and comfortable accommodations. Per what you have noted in this review and in discussion we had, when you checked in at 3:10pm, as per your claim, if you had experienced wet carpet and bad smell as soon you entered the room, you could have immediately reached out to our team member and they would have changed your room immediately. You left the room 10 minutes after checking in and returned back at 7:30pm. At this stage, if once again you had reported an issue with your room, we would have moved you to an equally comfortable room. Instead you only reported this issue at 9am next morning leaving us no option but to assume that when your grand child took a shower the previous night, as you mentioned, she must not have closed the shower curtain properly which flooded the room around the bathroom entry door and you must have only noticed the wet carpet the next morning.

Stayed 1 night and it was better than I expected ☺️ The staff was great-Shanda greeted me by my name anytime we crossed paths. Definitely felt safe. All staff was friendly. The room was clean and had more than enough towels and toiletries. Dorm sized fridge/microwave/Keurig coffee maker in room. Breakfast had simple yet very good food. Would definitely stay again if I’m in that area

A decent hotel, a little bit expensive (more than $200) considering its conditions. It’s a old hotel, but clean, all staff are nice, continental breakfast with scrambled egg and turkey bacon. Quiet, if the guest on upper floor doesn’t walk around all the time…Overall is good for a short stay.

The hotel was Great. Staff was Excellent. The only thing I didn't like was the blackout shades in the window. I couldn't find them the first night & we slept in a brightly lit room. The next night my son in law asked if i had a problem with the curtains. He had the same problem & explained they were behind the gauze curtains & pushed far back.
