Margaret

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
Room was very small like a dorm room. No frills at all including plastic balcony chairs with no table. Breakfast was very loud and chaotic and watched employees use the same dirty cloth to wipe down tables chairs and food areas. No gloves when putting out food. Sheets had hair on them and very frayed sheets. Very uncomfortable sleeping knowing it was not clean I would but recommend this hotel.
