Pros:

I didn't eat breakfast. The room was big, but it didn't have a dresser for your clothes. Looked like the hotel was under construction. I had them come and clean the bathroom because old rags were hanging from the tub. Hotel rooms needed a big upgrade. On a positive note, the bed was comfortable, and the shower was hot.

It was the worse experience I’ve ever had at a hotel. Also, I will never use booking.com again.
Pros:

Parking

Cons:

Bed bugs, I had bed bug bites all over my legs. I made several attempts to talk to the manager, and left several messages for the manager to call me but never got a reply. I want my money back for the stay.

Catfished. Paid for an amazing room and I got crap when I walking into the room.
Pros:

Did not get breakfast

Cons:

When I walked in the hotel/room I thought that it would be like the photos I saw on their website. It was super nice looking from the photos and I was really excited considering I got a room for a good price. But when I arrived and checked in I knew something was gonna be wrong! The room was empty to no end and nasty. Pillows and sheets looked like they were dirty and not washed at all. There were what looked like small mouse poops in the corners of the floor. I didn’t take my shoes off at all unless I was in bed. I had to you my own blanket I keep in my car to lay on and a small pillow as well. DO NOT STAY HERE UNLESS YOU WANT THE CHEAP MY WALLET IS EMPTY EXPERIENCE!!!
