I can’t put in words of how dirty this place was. Floor was full of dirt, hair, and dead bugs. The bed had stains. Bathtub had so much hair, the toilet still had poop in it. I opened the TV table door… and the amount of live cockroaches was insane. I left after 15 minutes and requested a refund.

Rooms are very clean stuff very helpful concierge did answer every question but the hotel was overpriced. There was a problem with elevator every single day of our stay we missed to dinner reservation because of elevator. There was incident. One of the guests stuck in the elevator over two hours. It was panic with having seniors with us, and there is no stairs to use in instead of elevator. !!!!
