The amount I paid for the room was too expensive for the semi clean room. Sheets had hair from the previous stay. Air conditioning was felt only while sitting in front of it. No amenities in the room only soap that broke after a single use. Had only 2 bath towels in a double queen room. Ice machine did not work. Easy parking.
