It was the worst hotel I can ever remember. There was black mold in the hallway on the second floor. The room smelled like cigarettes and mold, there were cigarette holes in the couch. I booked a non smoking room. The bed sheets were clean but had stains. The a/c heater wasn't working right. The elevator was inop. We were supposed to stay two nights. We didn't. Where is the board of heath?

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Property was convenient, that is all that was good. Place was terribly dirty, lobby looked like it hadn't been vacuumed for some time. Paper on the floor. Outside looks nice, but once you come into the lobbty, dirty, old car seat in the front, long dirty corridor to get to rooms. Once inside the room, toilet kept running all night and making noise. Luckily there was a door, so I could close it. Keurig coffee maker did not work. Just water spattering all over the place. Would never stay here again.

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
The elevator was broken. The bathroom door didn’t latch, there were no vegetarian breakfast options only sausage egg biscuit to go package. Carpets dirty in halls and lobby. Room next to ours was broken door knob and mattress against window. Our room smelt musty. Microwave didn’t work right. Mini fridge was only a freezer throughout, would not get Warmer than freezer level. Cabinet door was stuck and the one bed tilted/ rocked. Also booked a room with 2 queen beds and believe I got 2 double/ full beds instead. I would not recommend this hotel.

Horrendous
My family and I stay was abosolutly horrible. When we checked in a $150.00 deposit was required and not disclosed in the disclosure. There was no restaurant/ lounge at the location. There was a musty smell throughout the room. Room service never changed our sheets nor took out the trash. The Tv didn't work or the phone. I wouldn't recommend this hotel to a bewildered dog.

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
Positive: The room was clean, spacious and well lighted. The bedding was very comfortable. TV excellent. Thanks for Wi-Fi. Room rate much lower through web-sites and very reasonable. Don't book through the hotel. Negative: Offered a room on the third floor. There was an elevator but it didn't work so I was glad to get a room on the first floor. Great Keurig coffee machine in the room but no coffee. Vending machine for water and soda but none in it. Room heater and AC unit did not work. Large space unit provided both - very strange. Urn of coffee in the breakfast room in the AM. - thanks. Espresso machine and juice machine not in use. Wondering if all this is usual Clarion standards.
