Room was okay but bathroom sink hadn't been fully cleaned (hair and lipstick). Sheets very wrinkled? Breakfast room was closed but coffee was available. You do have to walk over freeway to access restaurants and supermarket.

The Hotel promotes a pool, hot-tub, and a buffet breakfast. These 3 things were the reasons that we booked our room. The pool & hot-tub were green, had a jelly coat, and closed. The breakfast did not include eggs and bacon like their pictures showcase.

The room didn’t have electricity near the sink. Couldn’t use the hair dryer there, the fridge, or the coffee machine. Had to go sit next to the window to use the outlet. The couch looked like it had been dragged in from the street. It doesn’t look like they Moo their floors either.

I hooks suite room for the night, suite room carpet was dirtly like disgusting. TV wasn't working at first. Couches were dirty and derbies on it. There was weirded smell was coking out. My wife saw cockroach and spiders, I also witness spider. Toilet bowls were shaking when sit on it. The worse part when I went to the bed room for sleep, I notice there was very proment blood stain by the closet. I took picture and showed to to receptionist. Receptionist didn't have another suite but offer me to the standard room. So, I moved to downgrade standard room for the price of Suite and standard room didn't have carpet which was good but bathroom towlet bowel was shaking, I saw spider and hair on the bed sheet.
