Avoid this hotel!! 2 loud fans running in the hallway, the flooring in the room was stained, torn, and poorly patched and installed, the bathroom flooring was missing a lot of the grout. The shower had no pressure, water was warm at best, and the shower head was waist high. The shower tile had holes in it from previous fixtures. There was no drinks or food available for purchase,

There were roaches that crawled out of the drawer when we opened it looking for a bible. The wall plugs were not connected. When you plugged in your cell phone charger the eall plug would not hold it. We propped something to lean against it to keep it plugged in.
