Room was very dirty, floors were atrocious so much so I got on my hands and knees and cleaned them myself.. after telling the front desk and showing them the pictures of the filthy water they offered to put me in another room, but when looking at the room they offered that room was just as dirty… stayed for three nights and paid $420 and wasn’t even offered any sort of refund..
