The pictures are not what you get. The bathroom was dirty, sheets were stained, only gave us one towel that was also dirty, the tv was broken, and we practically had to break the door down to get it to open with the keycard. Will never stay here again nor recommend it to anyone.

Checked out the same day; unfortunately checked in and left to get something to eat. When we arrived 2 hours later and seen the room, it was so bad that we checked out immediately. We had to still pay for the room which was completely disappointing but at least we didn’t stay in a place that was dirty sheets and bugs not to mention not feeling safe!
