Hot tub suite
We stayed in the hot tub suite. The hot tub itself is really nice, but the room and bathroom were dirty. Crumbs in the fridge and hair in the bathroom. The bathroom didnt have an overhead light just a lighted mirror. The bed was so uncomfortable and the room was very small has no desk or nightstands or room to put anything. Just a small shelf under the tv and a bench at the end of the bed

Good overall
Pros: check in was easy, desk clerk was pleasant, inside was clean, bed was comfortable, TV was clear with many channels, high tech bathroom mirror, well priced, room had a sofa
Cons: near airport, sidewalk outside rooms was very dirty, no table or chairs for dining in the room, no night table but a glass disc attached to the wall wide enough to hold only my cell phone.

Room was ehh
Check in was a little slow. Room was ok. I reserved a queen room but got a full bed. There were blood stains on the floor, on a few towels and in the bed sheets. The bed was not comfortable at all. They had half a roll of toilet paper. Only had shampoo and no hand soap. The cool thing about the room was the jacuzzi on the room.

In general the room was nice and spacious but they gave me the handicap room I didn't ask for it. The first thing I noticed when I walked in the door was a heavy stench of body odor sweat yes they had a couch there but it was staying on them all sides and it was pretty mushy that couch needs to go it was in the high 40s and low 50s so the heater was on so whenever the thermostat kicked it on it usually blew cold air for the first 10 15 seconds and since the heater blows right onto the bed it kind of made it a little uncomfortable other than that place was great

Not as described on hotel.com
If you’re in dire need of a place to stay for the night and on a budget this is the place for you. If you’re in town to celebrate a loved one and have a romantic trip this is not for you. I found this place on hotel.com the pictures looked appealing with a jacuzzi, big screen tv and newer amenities. Upon arriving it looked fine at face value, entering the check in office I was overwhelmed with a strong aroma of middle eastern food smell. The smell would be nice at a restaurant, not something I care for at my place of stay. I was given my key and to my surprise the room was not as advertised, no jacuzzi’s and the room was not clean. I brought my concerns to the front desk and was left with a you get what you pay for response, not their exact response but it was heavily implied. I also brought up a mess spilt on the tv and was handed a rag, I responded with I’ll be waiting in my room for someone to come clean it. The pictures speak for themselves
Pros: Budget friendly
Big screen TV
Modern bathroom vanity mirror
Cons: Filthy room
Stained furniture
Non working smoke alarm
Exposed wiring
Mold
Stacked appliances leveled with
cracker box.
Poorly installed furniture and fixtures
Thin walls or non insulated wall

Shorty stay
The room was dirty. Old linen. Moldy shower curtain. The bed was comfortable but no mattress cover on it. The bench in the room was badly stained and had crumbs on it.There was food and a dried up contact on the counter. The floor was dirty. drink rings on the night stands. I don't usually leave reveiws, but this room was pretty gross.

It was clean and felt safe. I wish the room had a table and chairs. But the tub made up for it!
