Multiple holes in the floor in our room. Called the front desk and they changed us to a different room. New room had wires hanging out of the AC unit and the beds were horrible. The floor was more comfortable than the beds, not joking. Not worth the $$$ staying here. 2nd night of our stay we ran out of towels. Went to the front desk and they only had hand towels. How is someone supposed to shower?! Do not recommend this hotel.
