Terrible experience at this hotel. Outdated property. No AC for first day, they repaired but no AC in bedrooms for all days. Outdated Kitchen, no utensils(spoons/folks/others). No coffee machine in the room. Bathroom needs to be upgraded. Need to pay money a for coffee in the lobby and use of pool at the property.
