Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Don't book the hotel. Hotel is disgusting. The first room we were given had hair and stains on the sheets, dead bugs in the floor, nothing had been swept and cleaned in a while and I wonder of they ever clean their sheets. We were given another room when I went back to front desk unhappy with the first room. The second room wasn't much better. Floors were better but the sheets were so gross with stains and other peoples hair. We went to another hotel. They did give me a refund on the room.
