Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room was run down and dirty. The tub was dirty, and the floors had stains on them. The breakfast was terrible with the eggs having a chemical taste. To top it off, while we were eating our cereal and bagel, which were about the only edible items, the woman running the breakfast told us we needed to leave so she could clean. Mind you, this was right at 10 am when breakfast ends. Talk about hospitality... Anyway, we were very disappointed, given the other reviews that we read because our experience didn't align with them at all. It felt like the reviews we read were for an entirely different place.
