I got a non-smoking room and when we arrived our room smelled like cigarettes and smoke. When I told the manager the next day (short-Hispanic male with a small tattoo of a cross on his face) He said he could not accommodate us and change our room. The sheets were stained and so were the pillow cases.

Every night there was the smell of marijuana when we returned to our room? The 3rd night when we returned to our room our bath towels were missing with no towels to replace them? My husband had to go down to the office and ask for replacement towels? The knob on the bathtub water felt like it was going to fall off?

Needs improvement
Have stayed here many times. This time was not the best. The walls in bathroom were dirty. Hair in tub and on shower walls. Toilet paper was set on toilet due to not having toilet paper holder. Check out was clearly stated at being at 11am. We were receiving calls at 1045 and even had someone knock on door at 1050am. We felt very rushed. Not sure we will return.
