Very dirty and unsafe room, sliding glass door lock was broken, wires running through the floor, moldy bathtub, strong bleach smell in the rooms made almost impossible to breathe. I can’t understand how a hotel is operating in those conditions. Expedia should verify the product before offer it to the customers.

AVOID THIS HOTEL AT ALL COSTS. This hotel was infested with bugs. We had to change rooms 3 times. One room had really bad water damage, the floor boards were sticking out. The room we settled for (because the booking was non-refundable) had dead bugs everywhere and it was not clean at all. Because of all this we decided to leave all our belongings in our car. Worse hotel ever.

We rented a room and the smell wasn't great. The bed sheets had stains and there were hairs in between the sheets. We asked to switch rooms, the next room smell was worse sheets were cleaner but still some hair around the bed. I would not ever come back.
