First and last stay
Never got working keys for the door so and had to have someone from the front desk open it each time. Peep hole was missing and plugged with paper. TV was plugged into outlet that turned off with light switch. No towels were in the room. Water on floor in bathroom and trash from prior guest in trash can. Partially used soap bars and empty shampoo bottle in bathroom. Multiple insects crawling around. Hole in wall where outlets used to be. It was cheap, but still not worth the price.
