I stayed here 5 years ago and had no complaints. I picked this hotel based off prior experience, and it has drastically declined. Immediately upon walking in, the lobby reeks of cigarette smoke. We were not informed prior, after calling, that the elevator was out of service, leaving us to climb 3 floors. I contacted the hotel prior to arriving, asking if a hair dryer was in the room. I was informed every room has a hair dryer, yet we did not have one. Upon looking for said hair dryer, we found prior occupants personal belongings. Which I found rather disgusting. The floor area upon walk in and within the bathroom area was sticky, which was disturbing. The hallway of our floor smelled strongly of cigarettes and weed, as well as “spices.” Luckily, the air conditioning worked which cleared out the room while we were gone. Check in was very unpleasant; it did not feel welcoming or homely. I made a comment about the elevator issue, which was ignored. Upon finding prior guests belongings, all I was provided was a “sorry for the inconvenience.” We went to fill our ice bucket, and found the only ice machine is on the lobby floor, and no elevator made it difficult to get ice. The hotel room carpets were torn in multiple areas, the walls had spots and tears all over, and it just felt neglected. This hotel did not feel like we were welcomed, cared for, or safe. I will never stay here again. If I wasn’t hours away from home, and had more time to search, I would have moved.
