The room looked good, wasn’t really happy with the layout. It called itself as sweet, but it really wasn’t so I could not be in the living room and turn on the light without waking up my husband.

The first room was ok except for the beetles crawling on the ceiling. We were upgraded to across the hall where the hot water was not nearly as hot as the first room. But the hotel is under renovation at present ao not completely their fault. The cleaning service hust walked into our room wothout knocking before we left. Rude and she seemed to be very annoyed that we hadnt checked out yet.

The furniture was old stain and disgusting. It smelled like mold. I did want to touch anything. However, the third shift staff front desk lady sorry I didn't get her name was absolutely the best.

Eh..

Hotel seemed clean but there is a smell of musty, mildewy air inside. My room was way worse. It smelled so musty it was hard to sleep. My skin felt sticky and damp. I usually stay at Holiday inn so I'm guessing it maybe just the humidity of the area
