The only convenience is that is close to the airport. The area does not seem safe and the hotel does not have parking designated areas to park.

The place was dirty. The curtains looked like they had mole on them. There was a condom wrapper on the side of the bed. We didn’t have a remote, got a remote, and the front desk guy was pretty rude. Like why am I arguing with you about a remote I’m suppose to have and soap! Also, you walk in to a bullet proof glass reception. Anyone who is doing a review and it’s above a 2 works for the them and/or is an owner. Don’t stay here!
