Terrible experience.

The entire hotel is under construction, the rooms are dirty and full of cockroaches. The toilet overflowed when we flushed it. The bed was full of bedbugs. There was no staff in the lobby when we arrived. The pool, restaurant, and gym were closed. We had to leave the hotel in the middle of the night and go somewhere else. They should close it down.

The room was very musty and humid, the AC was turned down to 60° so I assumed it was recently turned on and the room faced west with the sun beating the window. As of 0130 I went out to sleep in the truck with a soaked bed and a still hot, humid room.
