Only good thing about the stay was the water pressure in the shower. Room was disgusting, whole place smells awful, and there was roaches on the walls. Would give 0 stars if I could.

Breakfast closes at 8:30. And they didn’t tell me what the hours were when I checked in and when I did get coffee early, there was very little set out for breakfast. The room was fine. Front desk wasn’t friendly.
