Everything was perfect. Clean units, nice staff, and well appointed rooms with the softest towels I've ever had at hotel.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Bed bugs not just one but numerous. Then they had the audacity to not refund me for the room. As soon as I saw them (upon inspection when I arrive) I returned to front desk and etc etc
when i checked in there were 6ea coffee creamer cans on the floor in the lobby to catch water. There was a live cricket underneath my covers when i got in the bed full of cigarette burns!!!! A shuttle is advertised on the website, but they did not have one.
My room was clean. My only issues was: mini fridge was frosted over with ice which prevented items from becoming cold, the light in the coffee maker didn't work and they could have left an extra roll of toilet paper since the one on the roll had about 1/4 left on the roll for two people. All in all a decent stay for what I paid.
The room was not clean. Found a half eaten burrito in my bed. And when I wanted to leave the lady at the nerve to say that she put me on the side where the locals stay. I prefer no one and stay at this hotel
Power kept going off in room .
Police chased people through facilities while I was there with my grandchild .
Nothing you needed was there in the room , towels wash rags . It is the worst experience I have ever had dealing with a hotel . It should be taken down from this site if you ask me . Very rude customer service to top it all off . Checked out a day early just to get away
This hotel is horrible and the lady at the front desk is nasty and rude for no reason. She gave me a dirty room and when I told her it was dirty she replied, “Yeah, I know it’s only one house keeper and you can wait in the room.” Gave me another room but I decided to just go to another hotel. She refused to give me a waiver for a refund knowing that the room wasn’t ready and the condition of the hotel is subpar at best. DONT STAY HERE!!!!!!!
