Who was tolerable, but they would not sit there again.
Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

It smelled like mildew. There was nothing to hold a showerhead so you had to hold it by hand. No microwave mini fridge.

Pros:

I've stayed there a lot but this time it was a mess...
There was nothing l liked about my stay

Cons:

First they charged my credit card right after I booked the rooms, I did not authorize them to do that. Then the room was a mess, it smelled and the bathroom had hair in the tub.

Pros:

I only spoke to a few staff members, and they were nice. One of the ladies from housekeeping was very friendly but I don't know her name! The location of the hotel was great, very close to many shopping centers and restaurants. I also enjoyed the self-check in kiosk.

Cons:

The room was dirty. There were red fingerprints on the walls, paint was chipping all over the place. The bathtub needs to be resurfaced badly because it was dirty and chipping as well. The toilet was clogged our entire stay. We asked to use a plunger and front desk informed us that there was "only 1 for the entire property and to please bring it back", which I found really gross. There were spiderwebs and dust which I didn't mind too much, but I worked in housekeeping before so my standards are biased. I found a sticker that is placed on you at hospitals when they are about to give you an EKG, which is very unsanitary. The pool was green so we didn't even bother jumping in.
