Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I cannot believe they charged me the full amount when the entire hotel didn't have water for showers or toilets. This was a very disappointing experience. The staff was terrible; they couldn't even help with directions to a medical center. The room was so dusty that they ended up changing it for us, but you can imagine how unpleasant it was to pack everything and move it ourselves due to the dust. Additionally, one of the beds was so worn out that I could feel the springs in my back as I lay on it.

Room safe was at the level of my feet, panel fell off of the toilet flush, staff lied to me twice about turning over my room, mini bar fridge wasn't cold enough to preserve food. Lots of questionable design choices in my room. That said, the room was comfortable and I enjoyed my stay.
