It was not as advertised. The curtain was too small ( I couldn’t shower because the floor was getting wet), there were red stains on the wall and oil stains on the lamp shade, there was no sealant along the bath tub so water just goes straight behind the tub (there will be mold soon). It’s actually a motel not a hotel. Just the worst. It ruined my trip. I hated this stay. ##### Natalya Stayed 3 nights in May 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Anderson 21 Mar 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Room was clean.
