The room we had was so inadequate, no door on closet, electrical outlets with no plates on it. Hallways were dirty as was elevator. One elevator was out it order just like a year ago when we stayed there. This hotel should be closed until they finish renovations. Fire alarm went off and we couldn’t hear in our room, never bothered to check on guests.worst hotel ever.
