Pretty sure the hotel is being run by drug using, unstable people. Invthe lobby there was rough construction materials. It is filthy. The carpets were horrifying. Half done painting and finishes. Its like someone's drunk uncles was hired for maintenance. Neighborhood also sketchy. I went down to catch an uber at 3:30 in the morning and there were two cops hauling out a homeless guy who snuck into the hotel. This place needs to be investigated and shutdown. It smelled like day old fried donuts, too.

This was the biggest “false advertisement” I have ever seen. The front picture is computer generated. The carpets and bedding were disgusting with stains and body hair still on our pillows. Walking in to the lobby you get hit with a smell that I would imagine is cigarette smoke that has seeped into the walls. No hot breakfast, the pool was basically a puddle that there’s no way they properly chlorinated. Run away avoid at all costs. Just plain old gross.

Took booking and payment, on arrival the hotel was closed. No communication about this. Staff were rude and unhelpful. Had to sort alternative accommodation without any support and pay out even more money for a place to sleep.

The room was in poor condition. The television would only get one channel, phone did not work, shower did not have a soap holder (it was torn off the wall), you could see light coming in completely around the room entry door, only one of the charging stations worked, only one lamp in the room. It was an inferior room, worst I have ever stayed in. If this is what they set aside for Expedia bookings, I won't do that again.
