Room was very dirty carpets were sticky. My dishwasher didnt work in the room. Shower was patched with white duct tape where there were holes. I stayed 12 days and my room wasnt even cleaned once. No towels or sheets, trash was never taken out. Id reccomend finding somewhere else for the money this place costs.

The room and location were fine typical hotel room. Our room had an odd smell at first but went away after a little bit. The room had a lot of moisture for some reason, by morning my hat was soaked. The double beds are not big enough for two adults. I wish hotels would stop providing double beds. Queens and kings only.
