Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
When I first arrived, I was unable to check in because there was a miscommunication between Expedia and the hotel. Amber the girl at the front desk was very rude, did nothing to try and help. When I asked her for her manager, she said that she didn't need a manager to see what I see. She was so disrespectful. We were finally checked in and asked fro a room close to the elevator. Once we were all checked in the room with the bunk bed was super cool. Once the lights were off, we could hear the elevator come up and down all night. When I went downstairs I spoke to the manager Paulina. She asked why I didnt ask to be moved at night. I explained to her that I had a 6 and 8 year old and I wasn't going to move them in the middle of the night. She proceeded to get me 4 breakfast vouchers. The girl that was there was super sweet and nice. We checked out and headed home.

Not worth the cheap rates
I booked this in a hurry based off pictures alone and didn’t read the reviews, which was a HUGE mistake. Upon check in we were told we had to pay $30 (I believe a night) just to park in the parking garage next to the hotel. Depending on which level has parking, prepare to take a rickety elevator, stairs, or walk down the sloped exit ramps. Also if you have a big vehicle beware. The entrances, exits, & turns are so tight. We were scared we were going to scrap the sides of our rental car just getting in and out. Staff was nice though. We had a room at the end of a hall and the hallways smelled damp & stale. The room was horrible. Every linen item was stained and gross from the shower curtain to the bed sheets which didn’t even looked like they were changed because of the stains. The walls, furniture, floor, bathroom counter to tub where either chipped, cracked, stained, marked, or somehow damaged. The room also felt and smelled damp like stale pee. Shower handle looked like it was about to pop off and the balcony door can only be locked using a latch lock. If you’re conscious of cleanliness do not stay here. I usually bring Clorox wipes to sanitize hotel rooms I stay in, but even that didn’t make the room feel clean. I would not recommend staying here. There’s plenty of other hotels in the area, so I’d find a better alternative.
