* dog friendly hotel without any grass or gravel for dogs to relieve themselves, only concrete * dirty yellow stain on the “fresh” linens * 1 inch gap between bottom of front door and door frame * AC which was only blown up into the curtains, was sweating profusely for the 5 minutes we were in the room * yellow and brown stains on nearly every wall * your neighbors will be drug addicts who walk the street and shout at no one * place on the wall for an iron, but no iron * 4 very small, lumpy pillows on bed i hate to be that guy, but we asked for a refund and went somewhere else after 5 minutes in the room. thankfully, the manager allowed us to cancel the reservation, even after checking in. the management does what they can, but i would seriously consider looking at satellite photos of this location from Google Maps/Earth before booking here. our rate was 400 for a room for 2 nights, on the weekend. (do not expect that price to be reflected in the room/property)
