Juan

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The customer service was excellent. Although we had to be moved from our original room to another room because there was this awful musty smell, and the other room wasn’t quite as bad. It still had a little bit of a smell, but not once you turn on the air conditioner I got it going if you got used to it the breakfast was good. I will not stay at this hotel ever again.
