Disliked: Cleanliness
This hotel is older and the rooms reflect it. The bathroom had to be cleaned after we checked in bcuz it was not done properly beforehand. Water did not drain. Hair all over was gross.The beds, pillows and chairs are quite used and it shows. We had an interior court room and the noise was still pretty loud. I would find a better, newer place for same price.
