Back of the hotel parking lot had old a/c units thrown on the grass.

Not clean!

I hate to say anything bad about any place, but our room was not clean and we ended up not staying even though we could not get a refund. I just decided to lose the money that we spent on the suite and go somewhere else. The couch had a stain that resembled a pee stain, the bathtub was not clean and there was something nasty on the curtains.
