Horrible. Went through several rooms before found one where everything works (one room probably got mold exposure from entering) but no microwave or coffee maker. Took 6 days to get brought to room. Racist against Hispanics desk clerk. Stayed over a month and given worst room, as far from lobby as possible. Horrible customer service. Charged twice and a $850 charge out of nowhere which I luckily caught and fixed. There is nobody to complain to higher up or corporate affiliate. Most of the hotel isn't even used. If I had to guess I would say it's only a front to launder money. Don't stay here.

Expect nothing except a room. Outlets connected to light switches - except there is no way to no until you wake up to a dead phone plugged in to a charger. Want temperature control? The remote doesn’t work, so you have to turn on the window unit. TV? Yeah - remote doesn’t work. Shower? Door has no handle so you can’t close it. Just a terribly maintained property.
