Pros:

Everything was bad😵‍💫. I ask for a smoke free room and the lady gave me a horrible smoke room. The smell was so strong that my throat hurt. Cigar stain everywhere. Bed was nasty. Im sorry but is the worst place I ever stayed. Very loud too. Never again 😒

Cons:

Nothing

Pros:

Niente

Cons:

Il letto era umido e di notte mi svegliavo sentendomi bagnato una sensazione terribile, il frigo perdeva acqua e allagava la camera se così si può chiamare, la reception pretendeva di risolvere l’odore della puzza di fumo con un deodorante per ambienti, in bagno c’erano capelli ovunque di altri clienti che hanno soggiornato prima di noi, letti macchiati ma abbiamo deciso di non farci più di tante domande su cosa fosse e il pagamento alla struttura poteva avvenire solo con contanti infatti hanno un ATM nella reception. Non ho mai visto un posto del genere, penso che se un giorno dovessero attuare dei controlli per l’igiene lo chiuderebbero.

On ne s’attendait à rien et nous n’avons du coup pas été déçu.
Pros:

Bien placé proche du centre de location de voitures, mais ultra mal fréquenté. Il faut éviter de sortir la nuit et des personnes viennent toquer à la porte la nuit ou hurle dehors très tôt le matin.

Cons:

Chambre très sale ( la serviette au sol dans la sdb devenait noir à cause de la crasse du sol), lit pas confortable et très bruyant. Très forte odeur de cigarette, les meubles collent à cause des fumées… cire d’oreille collée sur les murs dans la sdb… franchement dégoûtant.

Pros:

This place should not be called a hotel. I have never experienced such an unprofessional and dishonest hotel in the United States. The staff treated guests poorly and tried to force customers to pay in cash, ignoring the payment that had already been made through Booking.com. They acted as if the Booking.com reservation did not matter and attempted to charge me again. This business is misleading, untrustworthy, and provides a terrible customer experience. I would never stay here again and do not recommend it to anyone.

Cons:

Everything was old and outdated, and the hotel rooms had almost no amenities. When I took a shower, the water leaked out of the shower and all over the bathroom floor. The hotel rooms also smelled strongly of marijuana. On top of that, they still charged me a cash fee in addition to the taxes. If I had known all of this beforehand, I would never have stayed there.I think they should be cleaner than that is now.
