The staff was nice, but the whole hotel was dirty. We were looking forward to the pool. It wasn’t working. We were looking forward to a breakfast. There wasn’t any the area was very isolated. Broken glass and trash outside, not appealing at all the air conditioning barely work. The gym wasn’t working no equipment online. It says that all these amenities were included. There were none.

It was ok it doesn't offer any complimentary utensils, the ice machine has been broken for years, and the pool is closed. What's also sucks is that the gym recently closed.
