Mold found
After only 10 minutes of walking around the room after check in we noticed a lot of things that were not acceptable. The carpet in the area around the balcony door (~10sqft) was soaking wet. From the carpet being soaked, part of it was completely pulled away from the wall (the portion where it was going up the wall acting as trim). Immediately we noticed the mold that was black in color in this spot. The toilet was also stopped up. We called down to the desk to address the wet carpet, toilet and mold. The receptionist’s response to the carpet being wet was, and I quote “yes from the rain the last two days”. I said “okay, well the toilet is also stopped up” and she replied “there’s a plunger at the desk”. I then said there is also mold behind the carpet that has pulled away from the wall where it is wet and she said, again “yes from the rain the last two days”. It was obvious this amount of mold was not just from the last two days. We immediately contacted hotels.com to remediate the situation as staff was not even willing to help and they have been a good at trying to assist in any way they can. They were full and couldn’t move our rooms so we had no choice but to stay. The window seal above where the carpet was wet was disgusting, leaking (over a three day period we witnessed this several times) and a mold spot popped up under the window on the wall (where I’m assuming they have tried to clean it and it keeps coming back).

Beds were not as comfortable as I had hoped. Bathroom was very small, but clean. Staff was friendly, could have used more than 3 towels at at time and more than one wash cloth but overall was great for what we paid for it!

We got a suit and it was really big and nice. Loved the location of the hotel within walking distance of shops and out of the way of all the heavy traffic. The one thing i didnt care for during our 4 night stay was we were never offered fresh clean towels and when my husband asked for some the guy at the desk was like ill get em in 20 min but never got them till that night. They should offer daily clean towels and rags but thats just me. I love my stay otherwise.

This property needs some serious updating. The homes behind the hotel are concerning, witnessed several people pull into the parking lot, walk back to the house and come back rather quickly to leave. Doesn't make a good image for the hotel. Breakfast was very limited and didn't taste very fresh. Bed linens were dirty and very wrinkled.

Check in was easy, but parking was terrible. After check in we went to our room to only was it not as described it smelled terrible of mold and dampness. Is was musty and gross. When we went to ask to be moved was told no other rooms where available. It was 330/4 am so we where limited on options at this point. The beds where absolutely disgusting there was what looked like blood stains , the sink was dirty. After waking up we all felt sick from the musty room. While getting ready to pack up a cleaning person walked right in!! No knocking or warning just came right in the room while we where showering and getting ready. Absolutely would never recommend, had we had time I would have canceled and booked a different place.
