Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The area around it looked abandoned. There was no where near the hotel where you can eat and to be honest if there was, I didn’t feel safe. The front desk looked ok. When I got to the floor it smelled like cigarette smoke. The room smelled. There was mosquito on the bed. A stain on the floor. Sunglasses underneath the air container. Small. It smelled like somebody was on the hallway smoking. Then there was arguing in the room next door. I go to my car with my daughter and the front desk employee is on the floor spraying something for the smell. Not worth the money. Horrible stay. It was just one night but we hardly slept.
