I was working nearby and i knew i would get back to the hotel room after midnight. I checked in on my way through so i could just go to my room when i had finished work My fault that i did not check the room first. I got back at 2am. Toilet loose on the floor. No coffee machine cupe, water plastic cups No nothing. Thats the good bits. The hotel was occupied by either drunk long term occupiers plus the drug users making lots of noice even at 2am We found a roach on the window wall We went to sleep and shortly after i felt a roach on my hand, and one on my head. This hotel is badly maintained and needs a major upgrade just to be a basic place to stay. There is no breakfast theres no one at front desk, Im not one who generally complains, but this place is a dump. Do not be lured by pictures. They are not true

The service was terrible, staff support was lacking, the 3rd floor was a storage place, and it was given to me for a room to stay. I came in at 2:00 AM, and despite the fact it was late at night, I had to return the room and got out to find a more suitable hotel to stay. I asked for the full refund the next day -- talked to Rago the manager -- and was told that the refund would be done immediately. Thank you, Josepj Nguyen

Don't book this location. The property is currently under construction. Pool and hot tub were closed. There was no breakfast. The first room we were assigned had no functioning light in bathroom or the vanity area. In the next room that they assigned us, the toilet was not properly attached to the floor and rocked forward when you sat down. In the night I noticed leakage around the toilet. It was half way across the floor in front of toilet and reached the tub. Don't know if it was sewage of fresh water, but didn't want to step on that coming out of the bath. When I reported it, the voice on the front desk ring doorbell couldn't be bothered to show up in person. He did assure me that he would look into it, in a condescending way that made me think that he believed that I forgot to close the shower curtain and the water was my fault. No apology was given.
