Not clean. No microwave in the rooms. Hair in my towels and blood in the bathroom. Also, no regular bathroom door- just a sliding glass window. Somewhat opaque- little awkward.

Horrible waste of $$

Not worth the money! Had to switch rooms 3 times. The doors wouldn't unlock, heat didn't work and the Tv only had 10 channels. Breakfast isn't included also!

Non a None Smoking Property.

It should not be advertised as a nonsmoking property; the hallways and elevators smelled like smoke. The carpet and condition of the lounge furniture were worn and of poor quality.
