STAY AWAY from this hotel. The woman at reception was nice, but beyond that the hotel was TERRIBLE ! Upon entering our room the odour of marijuana overwhelmed us. It seemed to be ingrained in the walls, furniture and bedding. We asked for another room, but apparently none were available, and it was too late to change hotels. There was only one towel for three people, and they couldn’t bring us any more until morning. The towels were threadbare - you could actually see through them. The sheets were scruffy, worn and had permanent stains. The drawers of the bureau would not close. The shower faucet was pulled out of the wall. The floors were sticky. The underpinnings of the beds were falling down to the floor. The window almost fell out when we tried to open it to air the room. There was even a stench of garbage outside. The so called “continental breakfast” was served in a small fly infested room. It only consisted of watered down orange juice, horrible coffee, some cereal and a waffle maker covered in flies. Needless to say, we ate elsewhere. It is a very cheap hotel, in so many ways - if you can afford a few dollars more - stay elsewhere !!
