The rooms were filthy. There were roaches in the bathroom, which means they were probably everywhere in the room. If it wasn’t so late, I would have left. I rarely, if ever, leave reviews. This needs a review. This was unacceptable.

This hotel is fine for a night or two. The facilities are a little bit dated, but it is clean and quiet. The breakfast was very limited: yogurt, cereals, coffee, juice and waffles. That was a little bit disappointing.
