AC was very weak, we had to turn it really low to get cold air. The remote to the tv did not work. The towels were dirty, the top comforter appeared to have been burned because a big chunk was missing. Also, someone was playingusiccall night and no one did anything about it. I will NOT be returning.

I arrived on February 14th to find a hostile and unsafe environment, including illegal loitering and activity in the parking lot. Because the property was uninhabitable and safety was compromised, I vacated the premises immediately. I did not stay in the room after checking in and no service was provided. I am requesting a full refund. Regards, Adriana
