Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Don't bother. The place was fine at first sight. The room was tired, loud air conditioner, dead bugs in bathroom. Painted over graffiti on the doors. Had zero hanging space for clothes. Just a bar that hangs vertically. There was never anybody at the front. You had to call them and they would come from wherever on the property they were. The breakfast was mediocre at best. But the kicker was the fact that they let me check out two days early (booked 6 nights) but charged me a full night and refused to refund me for the second night. I had to battle them for 2 months to finally get a refund. I was dodged by the "manager" every time I called. Travelocity finally went to bat for me about the situation and it still took three more weeks for them to credit me 89$. What a dump. Never again in any of this businesses chains.

The toilet wouldn't flush and staff member name Heather said that I couldn't get something off of my stay because I did everything online but I paid at the hotel. I just got discussed because that's not sanitary and the plunger broke and I'm using it all of the while I was there.
