Don't believe the photos on line. The bathroom windowsill was filthy. The water in the bathroom sink hardly can out. I took pictures and video to make a claim. The person at front desk was rude and nasty. She didn't even try to resolve. Upon check in she abruptly stated check out is at 11. We didn't even get to the room. More of Roach motel than Hotel.
