Liked: Cleanliness
Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
Room was clean and spacious but smelled like bleach and didn’t make the room feel inviting. Room was bare and felt cheap - no nightstands except metal hanging shelves and one metal chair with a small half table. No cot or shelf for luggage and no closet. Small burned holes in sheets on bed and mattress wasn’t very sturdy and was very loud getting on and off. Bathroom was spacious and clean but again felt cheap. Outside of hotel was dirty and didnt feel safe.

The bed put out my back within the first day being springy and way to soft. When I mentioned this to the staff, I was given me two blankets and told "all the beds are the same." Worse than that, everyone was smoking in their rooms and noise was constant due to the thin walls and people wandering around. Again, staff cared less about theses specific challenges which was disappinting.

The room and the bathroom were not perfectly clean and the shampoo was lucking, but it was still acceptable. We booked a room with a kitchenette in order to be able to cook something for the kids, but the kitchenette was so poorly equipped, so it wasn't possible to prepare anything. So it's better not to count in that facility and just eat in ine if the places in the area (there are some restraunts nearby).
