Horrible experience! Dog attack.

Immediately apon arrival, a mid size dog, came into our room ( door was open as we were bringing things in) dog attacked my little dog. We were told this was the hotels guard dog. Then Christmas night, the people next door partied very loudly until 5:30 am, keeping us awake all night!! Complained to front desk, but they sudnt speak English.

Hotel que parece Motel

Hotel a pie de carretera, parece más un motel que hotel. Muy alejado de la ciudad, las habitaciones no tienen clóset. No lo considero adecuado para viajes de negocios.
