Pros:

The shower didn’t work in our room and the couch was dirty. We ended up having to go shower in a different room called a “spare room” as backup and it smelled like body oder. The shower was fixed within 2 hours. The key to the room did not work the whole time. The electric scanner was dying but they just kept giving us new keys. It was an ok room if you’re staying for one night and not spending much time in the room but you can tell it’s an older hotel and/or not kept up very well. Dogs were in the eating area so that’s just gross. Elevator didn’t work either.

I walked in room and found bugs in multiple locations in my room. Clerk would not give full refund. Charged for one night and didn’t even put things down or stay 2 min. Very very rude when told them about bugs and I was leaving.
