The room was okay it wasn’t clean or dirty, there was a dead bug in the corner. The sheets where stained and two of the pillows the bed had smelled. The parking are kind of small and the air conditioning was good and also the staff. So it was okay overall.

Air conditioning was cut off when we went into the room so it took awhile for the room to cool off. Linens and towels were very low quality and thin. Loved the 70’s decor.

We got checked in then went to the room. Any room I stay in I check for bugs. This bed was not clean. I asked for a refund he wanted to die another room and there was, what looked like poop on the floor. We said no and wanted the refund then he said he couldn’t had to wait for management. Last minute had to find another hotel. I would not recommend staying there, ever!
