Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
We walked into the lobby to check in and it smelled like sewer. The first room they put us in smelled like and old ash tray and the they put us in a different room that wasn’t as bad but the bathroom faucet leaked and water was all over the counter. We had to put a towel around it. For the amount money spent to stay here we should have left but it was a non refundable purchase. Save your money and go somewhere else!
