Ok for the price

Travelocity Verified Review

"The experience was pretty disappointing overall. While the place advertises a lot of amenities, several of them were not working during my stay, which made it feel misleading. The room itself was extremely small, honestly felt like the size of a jail cell, and it was not clean. There was a noticeable weird smell that never really went away, which made it hard to relax. Between the lack of functioning amenities, the cleanliness issues, and the uncomfortable room, it just was not a great stay."
