It was absolutely terrible. They tell you that they have a breakfast. They do not have breakfast. They only give granola bars, so that’s a why they were roaches everywhere and every room the sheets seemed washed, but still stained was not worth the money.

I was given a smoking room even though I requested a non smoking one, the room smelt awful, there was a couple of cigarette burns in the sheets, the room just didn’t feel clean, and the “free breakfast”!was coffee, juice and a granola bar. I wouldn’t stay here again.

The room had a mildew smell, it was definitely not fresh smelling. The toilet handle was hanging on for dear life and the cable was shotty on and off. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone it wasn’t worth the price.
