Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
My family reserved two rooms, both were not properly cleaned and when we brought it up to the front desk, they were unapologetic and did not offer to clean the areas we pointed out as unclean. Both rooms had plumbing problems. The overall condition of the rooms was not good for the price we paid. We will not be staying there again.
