Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Sadly, I will not be staying here again. I got there at 8 pm and the room I was given was dirty as if someone just checked out. The bed was unmade and trash (food) was left behind. The second room they gave me smelled like straight marijuana. We stayed for two nights and left the sliding door open to air it out but it did not help. The bedding had cigarette burns. The bathroom ceiling had mold.
