Liked: Staff & service

Room was decent, it can use more cleaning as there was dust all around. The pillow sheets had hair, one of them had a small dead bug. The carpet floor in the corner of the bed was dirty and there was a roach (it seemed like they had not bother to clean that area). Front desk staff were nice, once I mentioned about the pillow covers a lady came to change them. Overall, good size of room.

It served it'd purpose. Bed was comfortable, TV worked, and AC worked. New hotels need to build away from highways, always noisy. Maybe this helps keep prices under $200 a night, for 6-hours of use lol.

There are stains and 4 long hairs on the bed sheet. At night time, when the guests on the 2 floor walked, the noses could wake you up. This should be my last time staying in this place.
