The room was good it was clean they had food downstairs in the lobby that you could buy. The only problem that we had was. We were gonna buy the couple noodles, but they did not have any forks there for you to use. So you had no way of eating it. Unless you were to heat it up and then dumped the juice out. And let it cool and eat it with your fingers. I know the one floor also smelled like weed, not sure if the people were smoking weed in the hotel, or if they came in smellling like it.
