Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The bathroom was covered in cobwebs. Despite the "Do Not Disturb" sign, the housekeeping staff knocked on the door three times to try to clean it. I spoke to the front desk about checking out later, but they told me they would, despite this, call me twice to see why I was still in the room. Finally, the breakfast is extremely limited in options for $14.95 + tax. The staff is unprofessional and extremely annoying to the guests.
