Cocaroachses, out dated,
Pros:

The night girl checking me in...The other girls are nice.

Cons:

The cocaroachs, the broken toilet, it is outdated, it is a motel not hotel. Very shady people around, I can't stand cocaroaches or any bugs, I was also getting bit by something in bed, had a rash, them landlines usually dont work, dangerous, some doors are warped & you can't get out or in, sometimes keys dont work. The woman in the morning is downright mean, her name is SHRUTI BATRA, she should not be in this business, I was told she is l8ke that because she is going through family problems, that is no excuse. I have been in the hospitality business my whole life. I worked for the Marriott Hotel, I was a Flight Attendant, grew up in the restaurant business since 12 years young, I have been around the world. I worked in marketing on Park Avenue in Manhattan, I was hired by Brides magazine for the head publisher, I was a HHC aid, music videos, modeling, I find my experience was appaling. Stay far away from this place.
