Not going here again
I waited in lobby to check in for 15 mins, nobody was there. Then my bathroom door had dry blood splashes on it, was gross, then be prepared to hear a jack hammer noise when someone uses showers in near by rooms, woke up at 7:45am to the noise and then when I took a shower it did same loud noise and hot warm runs out fast

Never stay when construction is going on
They were doing construction on the rooms above us. Much banging and loud noises at all hours of the day or night. They should have informed us of this and asked if we wanted another room. They just saw senior citizens and didn't care.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
The room smelled of stale smoke, but there was no opportunity to switch. A used towel from a previous guest was left in the bathroom. Noise from the upper floor room was very loud stsrting early in the morning. Parking was a challenge. I wish i could say something more positive, but this was a disappointing stay.
