Very dirty and unsafe room, sliding glass door lock was broken, wires running through the floor, moldy bathtub, strong bleach smell in the rooms made almost impossible to breathe. I can’t understand how a hotel is operating in those conditions. Expedia should verify the product before offer it to the customers.

AVOID THIS HOTEL AT ALL COSTS. This hotel was infested with bugs. We had to change rooms 3 times. One room had really bad water damage, the floor boards were sticking out. The room we settled for (because the booking was non-refundable) had dead bugs everywhere and it was not clean at all. Because of all this we decided to leave all our belongings in our car. Worse hotel ever.
