It was disgusting

Disliked: The facilities were extremely dirty. The bathroom was gross, the shower curtain was old, ripped, raggedy, and dirty, the floor didn’t seem like I’ve been vacuumed in weeks, very gritty. Room 804

Passable

Liked: The valet and staff were very welcoming.
Disliked: The odor and level of cleanliness were below standards. We were checked into a room on the 5th floor, but the hall condition prepared us for our room condition, and we ended up being moved to a room on the 6th floor, which was in better condition.
