One of the worst hotels I’ve ever stayed in. Many extended stay residents up past midnight playing loud music. Room was in disrepair. Do not stay here with children.

Justin, Sep 2020

Pros. Breakfast was unavailable. The bed and room itself were comfortable.

Cons. The overall cleanliness of the hotel could have been much better. I was disappointed with the amount of dirt and junk that surrounded the hallway to the room.

Pros. The internationals staying there really added to my fun: the languages spoken, children, food area brought us all together. So wifi being sketchy was good too as we had to be in lounge to receive signal ,a result of rare rain storms-also a blessing0, we all visited- the one thing missing in American culture.
