Angela

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Absolutely TERRIBLE experience! First of all, check in took almost 40 minutes due to there being limited staff on site. Second, for some reason they thought it was okay to use a blower or extremely loud tree trimmer at midnight! This unnecessary "yard work" went on at least until 1 am. I tried calling the front desk several times to report it but no one ever answered and it only gave the busy signal. Third, there were limited working outlets in the room and even OPEN electrical outlets which is a huge safety hazard. There were only two lamps in the room and one of them was missing a light bulb. There was no trash can at all in the room. Pillows had the stuffing falling apart so not comfortable at all. Extremely worn down room. DO NOT stay here if you have another choice.
