I’ve stayed in the tower before and it was good. Room 131 in th lower area was not good. It needs some attention. Said there was a coffee maker- no coffee maker. Ice machine was all the way back in the tower- too far away. Kleenex box had 2 tissues in it. It needs remodeling. Tile floor is awful. Wallpaper loose on the wall. Tub and shower are old. Hospitality suite on 3rd floor was pitiful for breakfast. No toast, no muffins or pastries. None. No fruit. The waffle machine was the only appealing thing and the coffee and juice. Was told I couldn’t stay in tower. There were very few cars in the lot. The front desk clerk said there were no clean rooms in the tower????? Very unsatisfied.

The room was dirty. The bed sheet and hand towel were either stained or never washed. The laminate floors were filthy. I had to throw away the socks I was wearing. The furniture needs to be replaced. The entire room needs to be refurbished.

I will first say, the room itself was clean & the bed was comfortable and the lady running the breakfast was great. It’s a fine place for one or two nights but I wouldn’t stay there for like a week. The guy working the night desk was terrible, he basically didn’t speak to us, handed us our keys to our room & we had to go back to him again because he didn’t tell us where our room was. The guy in the morning was fine. The area was ok but definitely wouldn’t want to take small children here, we saw several things that were concerning. Anyway, not a terrible experience but not the greatest either.

Front desk guy seemed extremely uninterested, gave us the key to a room that was clearly still occupied, luckily no one was in the room when we walked in. Got two queen beds but looked more like two fulls. Shower curtain was moldy and the room had a strange smell when we walked in. For breakfast there was only one overwhelmed employee and guests were having to put their trash in a garbage bag that was lying on the floor. For $450+ a night it was not worth the price.
