The staff was nice, but the whole hotel was dirty. We were looking forward to the pool. It wasn’t working. We were looking forward to a breakfast. There wasn’t any the area was very isolated. Broken glass and trash outside, not appealing at all the air conditioning barely work. The gym wasn’t working no equipment online. It says that all these amenities were included. There were none.

It was ok it doesn't offer any complimentary utensils, the ice machine has been broken for years, and the pool is closed. What's also sucks is that the gym recently closed.

Room was clean. But very sketchy otherwise. Did not feel safe. People hanging out in hallways and by open doors. I think they probably live there. Dimos (bar/restaurant)was very clean and had great food. But i wont stay there again.

The shower was not clean along with the shower curtain, the rugs seemed to have not been vacuumed in a while. There were dead bugs on the wall, but the beds were clean. The staff were nice, exterior and parking were nice.
