There was mold in various places in our room. Our room smelled of feces when we walked in. The lock on our door was broken, the breakfast was limited options and what they did have, while it was supposed to be warm, was cold.

Didn’t have a great experience here. A lot of homeless people outside around the hotel in the parking lot. Hotel room walls were very thin and could hear conversations in the rooms next door and in the hallway. The rooms were very small and didn’t feel super clean. We experienced someone running in the halls back and forth yelling in the middle of the night.
