I only had to stay here a night, which seemed like to long. The place was booked by my school so I really had no say in it. The place was rough. From the sign on the door, they are allegedly remodeling the Hotel so I guess I could cut them a bit of slack, fine. The room was for the most part clean, however, very run down. The paint job from their remodeling got paint on the ceiling and shower in the bathroom. We had small holes in the sheets and blankets. The towels had some interesting stains on them. One of our lights in the room did not work, as did the TV remotes. The room had an smokey odor to it though it was allegedly non-smoking.
In the room there was a refrigerator and microwave, which is all well and good, but since our fridge was not plugged in it was rendered useless till basically the next morning. However, the worst part about my stay was the toilet issue. Having not used it once, I flushed it to make sure it actually would and it did, great, but then 3 min. or so after it began to make this noise as though water was still flowing in the bowl. At 1am...this drove me crazy. So I had to turn the valve to off at the base of the toilet where water goes in to stop this noise, and then anytime it needed to be used, it would have to be turned on...
The one encounter that I had with the hotel staff wasn't anything good either, I wanted a few more towels (not a crazy request) as the ones provided had some yellow staining on them so I called and told the front desk and she said she would have them sent down to me. 25 min. later, my friend who I was staying with asked where the towels were so he could shower and I was like, "give them another call, she said they were to be sent down". So he calls, and this time she says they are at the front desk ready for you to come down and get....your joking right? I thought it was called ROOM service for a reason.
Overall, your much better staying at a variety of other hotels in the area. The Hilton was just down the road, and my rate had I stayed there would only $20 more than this mess...
