The air conditioner barely worked. My deposit was not refunded because "my towels were too dirty.". Booked the same type of room for the next night and was told i had to check out at 11 a.m. then come back at 3 p.m. and check back in. Rates shown on website differentiate from what you pay at the desk with cash. Not a very pleasureable stay.

The air conditioner sounded like it's ready to retake off. It was loud and running continuously even when set at 70. Room has any funny smell. Smells like spices. Bathtub is a trip hazard/slippery waiting for accident to happen. Could use a hook hanger to hang towels. The place is kinda scary with some long-term resident hanging out in the main lobby. The bathroom sliding door broke. Takes 2 people to slide it open.
