There was poop on the toilet seat and food in the fridge. Front desk lady was annoyed that I called and asked for it to be cleaned. They lock the front doors at 10pm and the front desk lady gets angry when you come and go for cigarettes. The back of the hotel was covered in garbage and there is no room service unless you order 2 hours
