This is by far the filthiest hotel I've ever stepped foot in. Our room was advertised as non smoking, yet the room reeked of cigarette smoke, dust and mildew. The shampoo and conditioner bottles were half empty, the sheets had YELLOW stains, there was no toilet paper and the 3rd floor elevator was not working properly.

Breakfast needs to be improved, it’s below average. The carpet in the room feels dirty, but the sheets, bathroom and the furniture were clean. The front desk was responsive and quick, we needed a few more pillow and they brought it in 5min. It was a good stay overall.
