Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
There was constantly a fly in my room flying all night. I killed a couple, but they kept coming back. I felt so icky the whole night. They would land on the bed or near me constantly. I had trouble sleeping because of that. The outlets didn't work. I have to plug into all of them just to find only one working in the whole room. Overall, it wasn't a great stay. Would not come here again.
