The only reason to stay here is that it’s cheaper than most.
Cons:

The housekeeping maid staff have horrible attitudes and are extremely rude and nasty for no reason. They talk to you in a belittling and disrespectful tone with a little too much bass in their voice as if you put the job application in for them and made them come work here. Like, I don’t understand why they’re acting like the situation is personal when if they don’t like their job they could easily just go online look for another one on their break and put applications in elsewhere. I understand that maybe it’s not fun to have to clean up behind people especially in a hotel whose main clientele is streetwalkers and prostitutes, but I am not part of that demographic and I don’t fit that description. I’m a single mom trying to get my life together and figuring things out with my baby so there’s no reason to be hostile towards me.

Horrible, Hazardous
Pros:

Didn't attend Breakfast, didn't get sleep. My room had no AC or open windows to get air. Had to leave front door open all night to get air. The room was sauna. The staff did not tell me the room had sealed windows. Fire trap!!!

Cons:

They the staff didn't tell me the windows were sealed shut and there was no way to get air into a hot room. Horrible they did that and offered no help! Felt ripped off!
Shameful

Не вернули депозит в 50 долларов США
