The worst hotel ever! Dirty sheets, no working smoke alarm, live wires hang out of the wall, no lock on the sliding patio door (ground floor) and they discontinued complimentary breakfast yet still advertised they provided it (only booked days before my stay) I Left 10 mins after I checked in. Hotel refused to refund my money. Stay as far away as you can from this property

Dirty sheets
Multiple tares in comforter
Holes in walls

Disliked: Amenities
Beyond the chirping smoke detector somewhere in the building that would wake me up occasionally, it wasn't as bad as some reviews make it out to be. It is an older hotel. I didn't notice any bugs roaming my room. The bed sheets and pillows were clean. Nobody messed with my car (I parked near an entrance with a camera) For the money it wasn't too bad.
