Disliked: Cleanliness
The room was not clean—there was hair and visible stains on the bed sheets, pillowcases, and other furnitures. We only had properly hot water for the shower on the first night. For the rest of our stay, we couldn’t shower since the water was lukewarm at best. Very disappointing stay for our year-end trip. We will not return.

Got some overflow room behind a laundromat, barebones room. wifi & tv not working, small space heater that couldn't keep the room above 55F, showerhead came flying in my face when trying to take a shower, for 120 a night handsdown the worst place I've stayed
