Room was nice and clean, but my room was in the very very back of the hotel. I mean I was a little scared. There were some sketchy people walking around or even peeking through the doors.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I didn't even get to stay here the toilet was ripped out of the bathroom and in the middle of the room on the first night. The front desk person wasn’t helpful either and wouldn’t do anything to make the stay better. I would not recommend staying here at all. They couldn’t get me my refund cause of strict policies and rules. Was I supposed to stay in the same room with a dirty toilet in the middle of the room ? They had several weeks to get the room ready and ALL DAY to make sure it was ready but it was dirty and the toilet looked like there still was pee in it. I was charged 3 days to stay there but didn’t make it past the first 20 minutes. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND.
