Dirty, musty smelling, booking photos didnt match. Hot tub out of order, ceiling dripping above pool. Toilet wouldnt stop running, burned out bulbs, 2nd tv wouldn't work, dirty dishes in dishwasher and no detergent available, broken drawers. Shower had too much pressure, went all over floor and never got hot even at 630 am. Only positive is the large space

Wasn’t bad for the price, but this property had quite a few maintenance issues.

We liked the extra space and kitchen area even in a standard suite. We normally prefer short term rentals for this reason, but would definitely stay here again because GrandStay offers the same without the additional cleaning and service fees. The staff was friendly and the breakfast was basic and again something you wouldn’t from a STR. The location is excellent - walking distance to everything!! The hotel is a little dated but still not bad. Multiple light bulbs (>6) were burnt out but the front service provided replacements. There were some stains on the walls, especially by the vents, the couch was a little dusty, but generally the facility looked and smelled clean. The sleeper sofa was a bit uncomfortable, but it was still nice to have an extra bed for my daughter to sleep in the living room. I read some negative reviews, but I imagine during a busy football or other big event weekend, it’s possible that cleaning shortcuts may take place, but we would definitely look to stay here again if available.

Upon check in, found room with some sort of goop all over the walls. Looked like dried soda, some sort of food smeared on the entry door. I booked two rooms and they switched the larger one that I booked all week with a much smaller one that I had only requested for two nights. Kitchens are convenient but wouldn’t stay again.

The suite floor plan was great, as was having two TVs, a full size fridge, and a kitchenette. As this is an older property, it's starting to show its age. The staff was very friendly and helpful, but the desk clerk at checkout was also performing housekeeping chores...hire more help! Complaints are few...there was no bar soap (front desk said their supply truck had been delayed 3 times), and the shower attached bottle for body wash was empty. Also, if you're looking for the ice bucket and cups, they're kept hidden away in a kitchen cabinet!
