2/5 Poor

Travelled with family, Business traveller
The hotel staff were friendly and helpful, but the overall experience was quite poor. We could not turn the heat off, which meant it was over 90 degrees F in our room. The complimentary breakfast was tiny and low quality. They only clean the room and change the towels and sheets every third day, which makes it rather unpleasant. Also, the shower didn't work correctly and sprayed all over. Finally, two of the lamps in the room did not work, making the room very dark.

Needs a DEEP Clean!
Definitely needs a deep clean. 4 cockroaches all over the bathroom just scattered after I put the light on. 2 of them were stuck in the tub 1 hiding in the towel. Front got me a new room right away. No issues in the other room other then the construction next door. Management apologized first ting once they came in. They weren't able to do anything with my current booking because I got it through Hotels.com.
