8.4/10 Very Good! (757 reviews)
This was the worst hotel that I've ever stayed at. They didn't have the amenities that was on their website. The room was dusty, the sofa was awful and the bed was hard as a rock. They asked for a deposit and when we looked in the room. The lamps were busted and needed lamps. The door that we had to get to our room at was spider infested and the ac above the door was leaking down in front of the door. They barely had any customer service and i would recommend that no one should stay there.
