While most staff were absolutely lovely, my room had stab marks and slashes in the wall as well as smears of something red brown coloured on the walls as well as hairs still under the toilet seat and scum all over the shower, the mini fridge was disgusting and I had to pay a $200 deposit on a $122 dollar room that was putrid. And I honestly feel this review is generous and forgiving.
