It started bad and got worse: Only 1 car parking allowed when there are tons of empty spaces. This rule was not on our reservation. The dresser: the handle was sticky. The bar where the clothes hanged has white paste on it. The bathtub did not drain, my mom showered in flood of water. We had to take the whole plug out while showing. The air condition make the air damp/mold feeling. We have asthma and could not breath well so we turn it off. It was bad that we did not stay the full 4 days. We lost 1 day due to no refund when scheduling. Will not stay here again. We were thinking of asking to change room but they told us that they were booked when discussed about parking issue. We never saw full parking lots.
