Not the cleanest. Broken window shade. Out of soap. Staff is courteous. Signs in the parking lot read "management not responsible for theft." Take from that what you will.

Front desk was rude and not hospitable. Did not know how to perform job. For example, did not know how to create extra keycard. Room was clean however bathroom light constantly flickered. When I reported to front desk , I was told they had no idea how long maintenance was take to fix it. In the end it was never fixed and I had to use the bathroom and shower using my phone light. Overall, this hotel can do better on customer service and hospitality.

Noisy. They had cheerleading squad on 2nd floor above us. They were practicing with loud pounding before the sun came up. Ridiculous. Hardly got any sleep. Also the breakfast buffet was out of supplies. They had no yogurt or friut like they normally have. Out of bacon too.
