It was a perfectly fine place to stay with absolutely nothing fancy. As is common with inexpensive hotels, many things were a bit wonky or unfinished. But the beds were nice and firm and it had a refrigerator, coffee maker, TV, and microwave. Fo4 the price, it worked for me.
We check in and it was dirty you can literally see the dust inside and it has an odour and very unsatisfied and we checkout and look for another hotel.I ask for a refund and was being told to contact hotels.com and I requested online for refund and havent heard .if you need video I do have it
The room was pretty bad... Pretty much everything in the room was broken in some way. The wifi was horrible, and the pool was closed. 2 key cards malfunctioned, and I watched a tweaker exercise with a brick. There was a hookers acrylic finger nail right outside my door. Staff was nice at least. A bum aslo hit us up for weed.
Room was dirty towels were not in good condition. They were dirty. The room had stains all over the wall patches that were not painted it look horrible very horrible bro.
The bed was super uncomfortable. Bed sheets were ripped. Toilet looks like it has never been cleaned. Stains all over the curtains. Smells awful. I don’t know why but it sounded like someone was trying to get into our room at least 5 times a day. Next to the road so it was super loud. Constantly hear planes flying over. The microwave looks like they never cleaned it. Also, no plate in the microwave. Customer service was nice but even the office looked like someone lives in it.
The furniture was falling apart, the bed was sinking, the bathroom had lot of stains, the bathroom faucet had white mold-dirt, the humidity was excessive for it didn't have room to scape. The doors doesn't have extra security
