Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Staff is mediocre and will argue you for your license plate. Your key car may randomly get deactivated (probably due to a magnet) and you’ll have to go to the desk numerous times for them to reactivate. Surrounding area is a bit rough and hotel room cleanliness is below average.
