The staff was good. However, the room had three separate hairs. One black hair in the sink, one black hair in the shower, and one grey hair on the bed. Also, there was a candy wrapper on the floor underneath the vanity. They need to do a much better job of cleaning. That’s the stuff that I found and I’m sure there was more. Also, one of the lights in the bedroom kept turning on automatically, and I had to call management at three in the morning to come and remove the lightbulb because I couldn’t do it myself. Overall, not too good of an experience at this hotel.

Our room was in bad condition- very dusty and there was hair everywhere in the bathroom water splash stains. The AC would not cool we had to sleep with the window open and the sound of cars driving by just to sleep comfortably. The fridge did not cool and the dresser drawers kept sliding open.
