Room had places to put luggage off the floor. Bed was comfortable but sheets keep coming loose. Internet was spotty. Television frequently lost signal. Water remained hot in shower but pressure was weak. Soap was in dispensers. Had to use a lot to feel clean. Parking in front of room and traffic light at entrance allowed good accessibility to hotel. Occupants of room above were loud until 2-3 am.

I knew going into this that I shouldn’t have high expectations, however I thought that I should at least be able to walk on the floor without my feet getting nasty. Not to mention all the unknown stains on this chair. Do yourself a favor and spend a little more money and get a nice hotel.
