My shower had no seat or grab rails to hang on to when washing feet etc. Easy to slip for seniors like me. Also very difficult to turn on shower without getting sprayed with hot or cold water due to sliding glass panel next to shower control locked/immobile. However staff very understanding/helpful and worked to resolve the shower issue, All in all a very pleasant stay.

Clearly the managers of this property did not Graduate from hospitality school. The lobby area is shabby, the halls are shabby, and the rooms are shabby. The decor of the hotel seems to be in the style of College Dorm Trash, perhaps they were actually sourced from college dorm dumpsters. Breakfast is non existent and the coffee shop provides warm dishwasher and sponges on buns for your only option. Stay away from this dump of a hotel.

The hotel room was extremely dirty and the thermostat did not work properly, plus the fan (used for both heating and cooling was very loud). At first I was given one room, the door/room key in that room was not working, and the second room I was given had not been cleaned properly.

This is a 3-star hotel. It smells like cigarettes, doesn't offer the amenities of a 4-star hotel, the staff at the front desk was not kind or helpful. Major disappointment for the hefty price tag. Courtyard by Marriott is far nicer.
