Our AC was not working whatsoever. The fridge was not cold but apparently we as guests had to plug it in and turn it on ourselves. We called to ask to switch rooms because it was hot and uncomfortable due to the AC and the lady on site told us it should be working and came to check on it. Tried saying it was on the wrong settings and that it would work soon. Never did. Ironically we got comfort from opening a window. Absolutely overpriced and run down. Half of the amenities that are advertised, do not even work!

Extremely outdated. Charges transaction fee for the deposit and to refund the deposit. Have to give clerk PIN number because apparently card machine doesn’t reach the desk no option for apple/phone payments. Rooms unsanitary from the bathrooms to the remote controller. Sleep in your car and save the money if no other hotels are available. Don’t waste your time or money on this hotel
