    Filthy tub/shower. Windows were filthy. Had to get a room change and the second room had a giant spider in corner of ceiling. When asked for maintenance to come get it, they never showed up. Not worth for what they charge.

    The hotel overall was very nice the only problem was our sheets were stained upon arival. They came and changed them quickly but that should never happen especially not during a pandemic.
