You won't get sleep here
The entire hotel smel.ls like marijuana. The front desk had the never to say they have a strict policy for smoking and to make them aware if I smelled anything. You smell it in the lobby! There are long term occupants living here with large dogs and babies. It was loud, unkept and really the worse hotel for a quiet nights sleep.
