All bath towels had hair on them from previous users, to begin with only had one towel in our room, there were hardly any staffing to request more. Toilet issues, and can hear everything that’s going on outside of your room at night.

The check in girls don’t feel so welcoming , all on their cell phones . As soon as you are walking down the hall there is a strong odor not bad nor pleasant but like trying to cover up something . The room we got was at the end , 110 and as soon as we entered we can smell the cover smell over the humid musty smell. It was so bad to breathe in there. We heard there is a leak over the bathroom and we can hear it dripping throughout the night . Definitely this place needs some work .
