Disliked: Cleanliness
You get what you pay for. The room, linens, and towels were clean. The safe in the room was broken. Walls are paper-thin, so we could hear our neighbors in the room next to us the entire time. The air conditioning unit had mold on the vents, so I wasn’t comfortable turning it on until after I scrubbed it down. If you’re not picky, it’s fine. But I wouldn’t recommend it unless better options aren’t available.

Bathroom issues

Our room had an odd smell. Went into the bathroom and the bathtub/shower was moldy and chipped. Looking up, the ceiling had clearly leaked and there were large brown spots. Immediately requested a new room and staff were very accommodating. New room was much better. Clearly renovated but shower still had mold spots at the bottom.

The stay and room was good. The elevator on the left side of the hotel by the laundry room closes really fast. My husband was pushing out a luggage cart and my 2 year old was walked out of the elevator when the door closed and scraped his foot. Not sure if it’s supposed to close as you’re walking out but something to watch out for
