The Balcony door did not lock. Requested housekeeping and never cleaned the room. Said under new management, should put a sign at the lobby saying housekeeping is limited etc. Do not disregard a request when a someone tells fron desk in person. The property smelled of marijuana and ppl arguing outside could be heard on the 6th floor. Do

The staff is half, but at Best the hotel is in disrepair. The rooms are nasty. The hotel elevator only works when it wants to the key system. You have to have your keyboard program to three times a day sometimes it’s just not ideal. definitely not worth the money that it cost to book a hotel here.
