Really dirty, explains the lack of photos, the shower knob is broken. There is no staff on sight. The people I was with in my room were really cool tho. This place has so much more untapped potential.

My credit card was compromised leaving me with limited funds. I booked the layover an i never knew that service was available between the rate for a bed and one key credit I was able to have a one night stay to get to the airport the following day- thank you it made a scary situation better
