Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Horrible from start to finish. Very dirty rooms, towels(not washed??), shower is only good for people no taller than 4’ 8”, noisy all day and night. AC noise was constant and loud. I seriously thought the place was abandoned when I first stepped in the lobby. Ghost town to say the least. I’ll take my chances on the street instead.

Floor turned feet black. Worst beds I’ve ever slept in. Flooring was bad by the ac unit. Cut foot on flooring that was loose. Hair dryer wiring was repaired with twist connectors. Pool had debris in it and was ice cold. TVs didn’t work in pool area or the gym. Over as lol cleanliness was terrible in the whole hotel. Would never recommend this hotel.

Dirty, outdated, rude service.

The Executive Suite consisted of nothing more than a larger room, and it was filthy. The clerk at the check in was rude and snippy. Definitely would not stay here again.
