This hotel was clean but could use some tender care in some areas! I would have liked to have more lighting outside. We checked in about 7:00 /8:00 at night and not feel STAY at all. Staff was ok, they didn’t do anything wrong, but when we checked in it was like a bother and overwhelming to check us in. Only one person at the desk, he was doing everything.

The sofa bed bedding was dirty, the window did not open or close completely, the a/c didnt work either. The room felt very sticky and needed some fresh air. Basically we were sweating all night. The breakfast was flavorless, and the location was not what I expected.
