The building was under construction so the room selection was limited. The bathroom towels in my unit had stains and hair on them. When the air conditioner was used a funky smell came blew in to the room. I used a flashlight to look into the front of it and realized the filter has never been changed and the inside coils had A LOT of crud on them. The refrigerator mad a dripping noise all night.

It was like it hadn't been touched since 1974 and the whole place smelled like grandma's dirt-floor basement. Whoever took the photos of the place deserves an award for making it look a hundred times better than real life. I paid for a king suite and got what looked like a prison cell.

The outside looked great. Inside not so. The room was extremely dimly lit with very few electrical outlets. The shower didn’t work, the A/C leaked into the room and during the night it popped loudly several times. The “Breakfast” was a small number of packed goods. No drinks.
