we found bed bugs inside of our sheets. when reported to the management we were told that we were lying and they needed more proof other than the photos we had. They had to look for themselves to even think about a refund. Terrible place to stay.

Except for the bathroom floor, the entire floor for the rest of the room had very loose lamenant tiles, so much so that they creaked when you walked anywhere in the room. Someone with bare feet could get pinched between the strips of lamenant. Could get you sued.

The buggiest stay I’ve ever had
The only positives was an easy check in and proximity to food. This hotel is not updated at all, the toilet wasn’t fixed to the floor, the room has bed bugs.
