Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Very sketchy hotel. Didn't feel particularly safe driving up. Front desk staff did not speak any English, to the point that they were using Google Translate on their phone for a simple check-in/check-out. Felt the need to check for bed bugs before putting luggage down - no bedbugs, but the sheets were very stained. Ended up leaving immediately and going elsewhere.

The property smelled of marijuana, the A/C units were poorly installed, the bed frames were incredibly noisy. I adjusted and turned over to go to sleep, and woke my kids. The man at the front desk barely spoke English. When I asked for cream cheese for my bagel he pointed at jam, then at butter. The pillows were pointless, some of the plugs simply didn’t work. It gets 2 stars because it was at least livable. But I would recommend simply spending money on a better stay.
