There were hookers in the parking lot when we arrived. High on drugs. The rooms microwave waa disgusting. Tried to eat the breakfast but at 9 he was putting it away, ignoring me when I asked if we could just grab a few things before he threw it away. He was rude. Why treat customers like that?

I’ve stayed before and it was excellent. The bathroom was dirty, the floor in the room was sticky. It was not at all maintained. I tried calling the front desk to ask a question and the person who answered said “I don’t know” and hung up. A disappointing experience.
