March 2024- under construction, heat didn’t work in the room, my mom who has to use a walker had to use stairs to get to second floor bc there was no elevator. Continental breakfast was pitiful. Hopefully people have a better experience once they’re construction is done.

Although room was refreshed, my wife refused to stay there because of construction work in rest of the building - she sensed mold, etc from construction work. She has a high sensitivity. the site should have stated that rooms are cheap because among construction but it didnt

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room was old and in disrepair. There was no working electrical outlet in the bathroom. There was construction going on at all hours of the day and night just above and just beside my room - even on the weekend. There were some creepy people roaming around the halls. I elected to check out early due to all these things, and the manager refused a refund for the 4 remaining days on my reservation. I had to escalate it multiple times to Expedia before I was finally given a refund. Awful experience there! I would not recommend at all!

Disliked: Amenities
The staff was decent but had issues with verifying the check in process. The TV in my room didn't work and the door lock (not the deadbolt) was broken off. I dont remember off hand if they offer a "continental breakfast" in hotel description, but if they do, they shouldn't.

Not what we expected
Didn’t have the king bed room we booked. Power strip to TV/fridge was off so couldn’t use the fridge because it smelled so bad. The heating and cooling system in the room was shot off so it was freezing when we got there. Very old hotel with much needed updates. Super disappointed.
