Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Was told the $60 on top of the costs for the room was just being held in case i smoked in the room or destroyed it. I did not smoke and i left the room how it was when i got there minus the bed being made and was still charged the $60. The homeless sleeping in the parking lot wasnt very appealing either. Will not be staying again.

Fire alarm was making noise due to no battery. Only solution offered was to remove the alarm completely. Absolutely no drinking water available on the property. Vending machine was out of everything.
