The patio door had a locked screwed in with a piece of metal to hold in place with two screws. The screws weren’t in all of the way and the lock was loose. Anyone could kick that in. It was rigged. Very dated rooms.

Booked this place for my parents. They found a roach in the room. The sheets and towels were dirty. The room overall you could tell it wasn't cleaned properly. We stayed 2 days there and no cleaning was provided even upon request. Notified the front desk about the roach and the dirty room. Employee said, "ok we'll clean it." No apology and barely acknowledge me. Disgusting hotel and terrible enployees. Will not be back here. Stay away from this roach infested, disgusting place.
