Disliked: Amenities
With the property being close by to the highway, it was very loud. The pool was dirty and no one was sent the entire five days we stayed to clean our room. Breakfast was a very small selection and the Wi-Fi would stop working every 15-20 minutes. However, the staff were very friendly with us.

Dejamos el hotel
No había toallas para la cantidad de huéspedes que éramos. Había cucarachas. No estaba limpio. Tenía un olor desagradable. Decidimos dejar el hotel. No dormimos ahí. Esperamos el reembolso.

I was there for 3 days and struggled to get clean towels, toilet paper and to clean the room. This is the second time I do not get my $50 deposit and I am very upset bcs the room was left clean and the lady last night said it smelled like drugs when a couple of hours before a front desk lady went checking every room, even mine and it wasn’t my room! My room was good and this is not fair bcs I was counting on my deposit unless the lady kept it!
