Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The first room I was given was dirty. The restroom was not cleaned and I was extremely upset. The second room the switched me to was not the best and the bed was super uncomfortable and every time you would move it would make a noise. When I was trying to find the first one I asked for help because I wouldn’t find it. The worker just told me to look again and couldn’t even help me look for it. Extremely disappointed and worst hotel I have stayed at. Would not recommend to friends or family.
