Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Check in was fast. Rooms were spacious. Room smelled terrible of smoke, there was a bunch of hair on the floor in the bathroom, the make up wipe in the packet was used, there were stains on the couch, the elevator han abrupt drop, and ants invaded my car in the parking lot and I'm still dealing with them almost a week later. Stay somewhere else.
