Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The place is ran down very bad. Rooms don’t match what you pay for. Free breakfast was advertised but the whole area is ran down and no breakfast served. All ice machines are down. Rooms are very dated. Not to mention the surrounding rooms have traffic in and out all night with the smell of drugs all around you. Don’t recommend for a family vacation for sure. Don’t waste your money on this place. It very well has the potential to be a nice place but as it sits it’s not even a 1 star hotel.
