Terrible!!!!!!!!!!!! I moved to another hotel that was very costly at the last minute. I came for a medical appointment and a house auditor for services came into my room after I checked in. Awful and not safe. The room was dirty unkept and the doors filthy. In addition, smokers outside my room although it is suppose to be smoke free. I left the hotel for fear of someone coming again into my room and they did not speak English. I DO NOT receommend this hotel to anyone.. Beware..
