Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
I was not impressed with anything. Way too expensive for the facilty. Located in risky area. Homeless encampment 5 minutes away. No pool or hot as expected. The windows are covered up with paper. It is no longer is use. Only one of the two ice makers worked. Very cheap. Tv mounted crooked. Reading lights didn't work. Items mounted loosely. Bathroom had mountings for soap dispensers. But looked like they where too cheap to keep them filled so they took off dispenser but left the mountings. Looks tacky. Would never stay here again. Motel 6 would have been better. Pictues are falsely advertised. Looks different in person. SmeIled of Curry. Bed had metal around the it. We hit our legs on it. Feel ripped off. Would have gave no stars if i could have. I'm not looking forward to see what breakfast entails.
