The rooms were in bad condition, bugs having fun on the floor, feels nasty. They should know who to give this type of rooms. They do business with these dirty rooms if you accept, your bad. I contacted hotels.com that same day and they fave us another room and they wanted to charge more. This is the worst trip and very disrespectful to a customer that pays the price. This is wrong. If hotels.com endorses this hotel, you guys are also participating in this business.

I was expecting a room that looked like the one shown in the picture, but when I arrived, the room appeared to have not been updated. The bathroom looked horrible, and for paying $189 a night, it was not acceptable, and i didn't even get the option for the inside room they have available. Plus, a bar of soap was open

We were put on the second floor with Elevator not operable. We informed them one of us had a handicap. There was no iron or ironing board in the room.They didnt deliver both items and said we have to pick them up and once again go up and down the stairs. The Tv had very minimal channels and the room and bathroom was filthy.The sink in the bathroom backs up badly. This place is a Dept of Health Nightmare and should be shutdown. $420.00 for 2 nights was a total ripoff.

The only reason I stayed was that the sheets and the mattresses seemed to be in good shape—good enough not to lose $150 and the pain to go to a new hotel. Otherwise, there was hot water but the room was kept in hideous shape.
