Nice room setup

Great room. Helpful maids. Easy parking. My only complaint, there was toilet water on the bathroom floor, the first time I used it. I thought it was a leak, but no. It was just there for some reason. Also, if a place serves breakfast, I think they should start early, for those in town for work, and not just travelers passing thru.

I rented 11 rooms for an event. One person had to abandon their room (and stay elsewhere) because the carpet was wet throughout the entire hotel room. Two other people left in the middle of the night, and the rest were all traumatized, because of the very loud stand-off between the police and someone they were arresting, right outside of the hotel rooms, in a guns-drawn stand-off.

There was a car on blocks in the parking lot. The room smelled and looked like a bunch of people smoked weed right before I came in. There was no smoke detector in the room. The shower was dirty at the bottom and the toilet seat was broken.

NO BREAKFAST AS OFFERED OR PICTURED. Breakfast room had construction materials in it. Dirty. Moldy ceiling, rust on all metal including towel rack. Flies in the room. Trash cans all over property were over flowing. Someone locked the door to the stars and manager said to use elevator. No smoking but both female and male staff smoking.

The owner lied an told me there was no rooms available, but when I went online I was able to book a room. I feel like he was discriminating me for being a younger African American woman. Then he proceeded to put me in a room where the TV was broken an the lights did not work.
