Candace

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The front desk staff, lobby, bar staff were fabulous. The room was awful. It felt so gross with dirty carpet, broken window shades. The bathroom set up with only a shower curtain literally flooded the entire toilet/shower area. I would never stay there again. And you had to pay for parking garage. I’m fine with that typically, but what you get entering is so deceiving from what your stay is. Also freezing cold showers with no hot water.

We stayed here a few weeks before and our room was great. The room this time was a bit more dinged up and the caulking was peeling from the shower and the shower door didn't work properly. It seemed to show its age.
