Staff is not available or seen on premises. I didn't receive my code to check in until 3:44pm, check in time is at 3pm. According to instructions I was supposed to receive this code at 2:30pm. This suite is run down bathroom lights wasn't working. Walls are due for a repatch and paint job. Door locks are broken you cant tell if you door is open or locked. They are rundown and need an overall upgrade. Towels and bed linens are also worn and dingy.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Communication was horrible. We stood outside the property for 2 hours until we were given the codes to our rooms (which were wrong). I had NO HOT WATER and had to take cold showers every day. There was NO WIFI. They gave a wifi code, but their wifi didn't even show up in the rooms. There was no phone reception in any of the rooms. We had to go outside or up to the roof to get wifi and phone reception. There were multiple different puddles/leaks in my room that leaked onto my clothes. The soap dispensers in shower and by the sink were filled with water, not soap. The blanket on my bed was not cleaned. Grass outside of the facility was severely overgrown. Mosquito infestation. The facility was not taken care of. I texted them every day with no resolution and no response. I wanted to pay to stay somewhere else

Don't let the bargain price fool you! There was no wifi, therefore also no working tv with netflix/hulu, etc. They blamed it on the temp blackout, but even after blackout it still didn't come back. Common area with microwave, etc was closed off. The room itself has no furniture besides a bed & chair, so no desk to rest anything, not even anywhere to rest phone or put clothes. Poor room ventilation caused the floors to remain wet/damp around fridge throughout whole stay. Bed overly soft and not comfy. Personally, I wouldn't recommend staying here longer than a few hrs. It looks nothing like the pics and not comfortable. I also badly injured my foot on the front of bed, so be careful of that area.

Okey for a night

After reading the many bad reviews (after booking, but before arriving) we were positively surpriced. The room was big, large and comfortable beds. Wifi was only available on roof top, not in the room. We didn't get the promissed check in message, so we had to call a number when standing at the gate to get instructions how to get in.
