Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
there was to much noise, the front desk lady named Sonia was very professional and kind, but the area of the hotel is too loud at late evening with the people upstairs. the area has a lot of homeless. but the room is very very clean! Its just the kind of people that stay there. and the key did not work......but as soon as we went to the front desk it was fixed.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Shower handle broke off, checked in late and wasn’t gonna switch rooms late at night, shower head sprayed water from the neck that connected to the shower head. Put a wash cloth so it wouldn’t spray everywhere. Told hostess and she apologized, didn’t expect much other than an apology. Definitely not staying again, a one night business trip

What I liked about property is it's clean and close to everything.What I didn't like was that the room I was in was infested with roaches. In the bath tub and all across the room. Looks good on the outside but what's in the inside is not right...
