Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
When we entered the room we found that not only was it filthy (an inch of dust on top of the headboard), but the paint on the bathroom walls was peeling off, there was a hole in the wall of the bedroom that they covered with duct tape, and the bed was not even made. We argued with the manager, eventually got a full refund and left for another hotel. We didn't stay at this DUMP, and we suggest that everyone avoid it completely.

Room smelled badly and was in overall disrepair. Sink did not drain. Mattress cover was stained and had burn holes. Sheets didn't feel fresh and barely covered the mattress. Towels were clean and fresh.
