I didn’t even stay the entire night. I got there around 8pm but I just got my key and then went to go get something to eat and a few toiletries. When I entered the room were roaches in the hotel room and the air conditioning didn’t work. I didn’t know what to expect from the hotel as some of the reviews said it was a good place. I left and went to another hotel as I could not sleep in those conditions.
