There’s no ill intent behind this review, but the room we were given was quite dirty unfortunately. There was dust on surfaces, the tabletops were left uncleaned (there were sticky spots left on the night stand as if something had previously been spilled), and there were notable stains on the linens. We ended up finding a cockroach on one of the pillows, and we ultimately decided to cut our stay short.

The hotel was ok, staff friendly but the water fountain was out of order with no sign indicating that. While the room was clean there was an unpleasant odor. As I looked around I noticed what appeared to be black mold in the slots of the ac/heating unit. You can see it in the photos I uploaded.
