Maria

Disliked: Cleanliness
The first room we were assigned to was so dirty and there were hairs on the bed and in the restroom. The second one was a tad bit better. The rooms need a really good deep cleaning, and painting, there are blotches of paint for touching up. The restrooms are really bad the floor around the toilet was dirty with urine on the floor and the walls were very gross, the towels were old and didn’t dry. The floor in the room looked like it has never been mopped. At night the parking is really sketchy, there were groups of ppl standing around late at night, they weren’t loud but a bit nerve racking. Great price but you get what you pay for.
