The sidewalks had no salt down so very icy The parking lot had not had snow removal. The desk said they only had 2 cleaning people working Numerous people that came in after us got into their room before we were able to get in ours After 2 hours of this we questioned and they determined our room assigned to us was for handicapped which we did not need We were then told they had lots of rooms clean and they were able to get us a room

Our 2nd stay here in a week. 1st stay I’d rate 5 stars, even though there was no hair dryer and no parking pass issued. Receptionist and staff were excellent.2nd stay we found our room was not ready. Receptionist was very helpful, but on her phone the entire time and angrily talking to whomever. We were offered nothing for the inconvenience of having to switch rooms. The carpet in our room is deeply stained. It was clean, however. Breakfasts are very nice.

We had a few rooms for our group. All of them had issues, some of them unacceptable. Dirty floors, no tv remote, no garbage cans, a broken lock to the adjoining room which meant that the other guests (not with our group) could gain access to our room. In one case, when checking in late, we were given a room where the bed was still unmade and dirty towels were in the bathroom from previous guests.

Never come here.
Terrible area, drug deals in parking lot. Workers hung out next to dumpster with a baby for a long time before coming back inside to check the front desk. Room had poop smeared on the wall in bathroom. Pubic hair was on the bed with stains. Entire hotel had strong marijuana odor. Homeless people sleeping in parking lot
