The property looks clean especially at the front desk. But inside the room, its dusty and dirty, wiping the countertop is extremely dirty. Coffee maker has white residue, fridge was really bad, food stains and water drips. Then microwave, disgusting with food overflow stains.. Jorge was nice to offer change rooms but we just stayed since I cleaned it with clorox wipes already.. Bed is clean somehow. Linens have holes though..

I'll never stay here again!!
I tried to get an early check-in but the staff was rude and said through there Ring doorbell that just come back at 3pm. There was hardly any cars there and the hotel looked empty. They could have accommodated and I was willing to pay an extra fee for early check-in. My wife has Parkinson's disease and also had a stroke a few years ago and just wanted to take a nap. I will never stay there again!!
