Room was clean and emiitys it was supposed to come with we're all there but it was a non smoking room that had stale cigarettes smell
The area around the hotel was crowded with homeless people leaving trash everywhere and smoking drugs. The staff were very unfriendly and rude.

Room was clean but the screws from the door were loose, the bathroom faucet had very low water pressure and it was sink seem to be clogged up. It took a while for the water to drain.
Well the shower had no water pressure but the water was hot so the beds were hard asf... and lumpy...and the people staying next to us were clearly smoking in there non-smoking room cuz you can smell the smoke come in to our room threw the conjoined door between our rooms and all of the homeless people getting high right on the drive ways as we drive to and from the hotel
Bad cushions, they do not have extra pillows, just two in bad condition - Homeless people outside of the hotel does not provide the safety feeling
