1. Smell of chemicals in the room was very strong, causing allergies and sneezing. 2. Toilet seat was soiled. Not cleaned properly. Applying a bit of water and but if scrubbing I was able to remove the skid marks. Had to buy wipes to sanitize it. Terrible. 3. Wake up calls: check out this at 11:00, however we received a 9:20, and 9:25 and 9:30 wake up calls. Last of which we did pick up and after that they stopped. Essentially by waking us up, we left the hotel at 10:30 am. Allowing their staff to enter. I asked the receptionist about it, she said she didn't have a wake up call scheduled for us, and apologize for the mistake. Lastly, I wanted to mention that we did do an early check-in. Thank you to the receptionist who let us in on the first floor 3 hours before the time.

At first glance when you enter the room everything seemed great and clean. But once inside we noticed a lot of dust under the bed and hair and mold in the shower. Hair in the bathtub and drain and mold on the shower curtain and around the shower head and silicon caulking around the tub. A little more attention to detail would help and this understanding that housekeepers are swamped with having to clean rooms quickly and having 10 or more rooms depending on how many house keepers are staffed the day off. But attention to detail should always be the utmost importance.

The air conditioning worked & kept the big room cool. Even though the hotel was full the night was quiet. I'd stay here again. As a bonus the restaurant next door served a good breakfast.

The staff was very nice! We wanted a non smoking room and were placed in one, but it was above a smoking room. As such, we could smell the smoke, but we didn’t want to be an inconvenience, so we didn’t say anything. After dinner, we came back and it was noticeably worse. I went to the front, and the team was very nice and moved us a few rooms down, above a non smoking room. Our neighbor had their TV on the whole night, and with the walls being razor thin, it was like we were in their room with them. We were also next to the stairs, so we could hear people come up as they were talking to each other, or what felt like stopping in front of the door to yell down at their travel companion. We felt clean overall, but the beds were very uncomfortable, the pillows with no support, and the sheets rough and quite thin. We didn’t use the shower, although it was the lowest shower head I’ve ever seen, and the toilet was quite small. Overall, it checked the box to put your head down at night, but nothing more.

The property was very clean and parking was directly in front of the rooms which was very convenient. The shower in my room was a little dingy but the room itself and bed were very clean and comfortable. There are lots of food options, gas stations and 711 in walking distance.
