The floor didn’t look like it had been swept or mopped. The bathtub was nasty looking along with the sink faucet. The mini fridge didn’t get anything cold and the air conditioner didn’t work good.

Shower dripped all night, remote didn’t change channels, and the bed sounded like it was from the 1920s. Still it was cheap and they were renovating so not bad wouldn’t stay long term though.

Very poor service and overpriced.

The room smelled bad, there was a water leak coming from the bathroom, and the bathroom itself was dirty. I had to rush out to buy bleach to clean it. The bathtub was also dirty. The bedding was unclean, and the bed was uncomfortable.
