Was not notified that the pool was closed and under construction or that also we would not have any access to an ice machine (no refrigerator in the room). Also was given a key that didn’t work and had to lug all my things up and down stairs (2x) to collect new key (front desk person wouldn’t bring it to me). Place is very sketch…smells like chicken soup, smoke & death. Likely prostitution in the back parking lot where semi trucks also park. Actual roach motel (yes saw one in the room) I didn’t even complete my stay—just horrific.
