Handle on toilet didn’t work so we had to flush it by opening the tank. We didn’t discover it until late in the evening. Need to take the pool off the amenities. It has obviously been out of service for a while. The pool is there but no water in it.

The location was good. Not too far from the airport or the bus lines. There was dust in the bathroom. The room shook qhen upstairs or adjacent neighbors walked around, and i could clearly hear the tv and conversation in rooms around. I would not stay here again. The staff was friendly.

Disliked: Amenities
Small room, only 3 bath towels for 4 people but realized too late to call for more. Small property and the location, though close to airport/etc, was not very nice-looking. Price was high for what you get, recommend spending $30-40 more for a nicer property.

The staff mention that they lower the prices because they have their pool temporary out of service. But we pay regular price for our room and no pool even on the website the pool looks open. They need to lower the prices if they going to have their pool close for the rest of the year according with what the staff mention to us and update their website.
