My daughter left her purse on the floor only to wake up the next morning to see her purse chewed up by rats. We complained to the management staff and they said that there was nothing they could do because we booked through Orbitz and not the hotel. Room was old and run down. Hair dryer was broken and plug falling apart. TV had no guide and minimal channels. The restaurant located at the hotel has been closed for I don’t know how long. Highly recommend staying away from this place. I would have rather slept in my car. We will be requesting compensation for the rat damaged purse, just gross!!!!
