Want stay there again.
Pros:

Nothing really . As I was checking out a very nice person helped me with ice machine. One on my floor didn't work.

Cons:

Time I waited just to get checked in. Seemed like 10 minutes or so. Ice machine on my floor wasn't working. Some type of bug looked like water bug crawling on night stand. Felt like something crawling on me all night. Very loud music coming from somewhere. Reported it . It stopped not sure if at local bar or where coming from.

Would not stay again.
Pros:

Cons:

Stayed 6 days, room cleaned only once.
Asked cleaning lady on two different occasions ig she was going to clean my room.
She responded in limited English, “No time. I busy.
Maybe tomorrow.” Very uncaring and poor customer service.

Pros:

Location

Cons:

The room smelled damp, the bathroom had mold in the bathtub grout and the toilet area smelled of urine, the sink was clogged, and the elevator was full of dust. The mini-fridge in the room wasn't cooling properly and the air conditioning It wasn't working properly either. It was hot at night.

No problem with the room .
