Pros (+) We spent a night at this hotel before checking into another location. It was terrible. Let’s start: Room was dirty (floor and curtains had stains) Beds were so uncomfortable I didn’t sleep at all. AC worked great. Bathroom was the worst part. Hair in the toilet and shower. Floor and tub were disgusting. I wanted to wrap myself up to to touch anything.
