Booked this hotel because I had an interview in the Addison area and I didn’t see any terrible reviews regarding cleanliness or anything, just needed a place to sleep. The location was by far the best part, it was so close to everything in Addison. However, just about everything else was very disappointing. I’d known from reviews that it had been renovated, but I wasn’t aware it was still being renovated and that there would be a good amount of rooms, including the one right next to us on both sides, with the door just propped open getting renovated.
We had a room on the first floor first and it was clean enough, there was a spider in the bathtub but the beds looked fine. That was until I looked up at the wall after my shower and there was a huge roach crawling. It ended up crawling into my bed so we told the front desk and they let us switch rooms. We walked upstairs to our next room, and we passed many of the open doors, it was pretty eerie. Then we get in our room, free of bugs it seems and clean enough, except the AC did not work. It took all night for it to cool off even a little bit and it was extremely loud. Not ideal for the night before an interview. We also noticed in the second room that there was some stuff painted over on the wall, but it was much better than the roach.
Second day went smoothly, until we were napping and I got woken up by paint fumes in our room. It was literally so strong that it woke me up from a nap. I went to the door to see and they were I guess painting the room next door. But I should not be smelling the fumes that strong and especially not at 9pm on a Friday, it felt unsafe. The renovation people were consistently in an out of rooms and leaving stuff in the hallways too.
Overall, you get what you pay for, and I should’ve paid a little more for a nicer hotel, but I would definitely not stay here again.
