The entry way smells like vomit. My sister in law found a roach in her bathroom. The toilet in our initial room wouldn’t flush so we were moved to a different room. The bolt lock on my sister in law’s initial room wouldn’t unlock so her door wouldn’t shut so they were moved to a different room. The staff however are very friendly and very helpful.

It’s a mess under renovation

This hotel is being renovated. It is a mess. The breakfast was not good The eggs tasted like plastic and all of the bread products were dried out . It would have been nice to know that they are being renovated and in a big mess before we booked it. Hopefully they can get it put back together and serve a edible breakfast
