While the place seems to have a decent pool facility, we have never used it. The halls give a feel of a poorly lit college dorm. The room was ok, but the TV did not work for more than about 5 seconds at a time. I called the front desk, but they said the dish was probably out. The staff reported that they tried to wiggle the dish a few times, but it did not help. I would have expected that a hotel would try to make some effort to adjust the price for the stay, but nothing of that sort happened.

Going to check in and lobby was dirty. The room was outdated but the bathroom had mold around the tub. The hallways were extremely dirty as well. I did not feel safe at this property. I asked for a refund and the staff was helpful with that.

This hotel is badly in need of a renovation. Hallways are dark, dirty, and musty. Shower water temp wildly fluctuates, especially when someone flushes a toilet. Curtains not very well designed and let a lot of light in around edges.

I will be asking for a refund. The Cold water on the shower was nonfunctional, so the water was either just a trickle or scalding hot. The front desk said they had never heard of such a thing. The WiFi had no password and was down for over a week, which added with the walls being made of cinder blocks did not let 5G in either…
