Mixed Feelings about my Stay

small bathroom musty smell

The bathroom was quite small . The shower head sprayed water everywhere except where it should. I also noticed a musty smell in the hallway , and it seemed like the carpets could use a deep cleaning. The elevator was out of service and I was on the 4th floor , so that was a bit inconvenient.

I must express my dissatisfaction. The room I occupied was quite small. The television provided was smaller than my laptop, a considerable disappointment considering what I payed. I expect a more appropriate size screen in a room of this price point.

the receptionist was very friendly. the room was large and smelled fresh. free parking was available onsite (a definite plus).

i had to ring to get someone to let me in even during check-in hours. the air conditioning sounded quite loud, like a tractor. the hotel seems a bit tired and could use some updating.
