Staying at this hotel was an utter nightmare. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by a musty, unpleasant odor that screamed of neglect. The room was nothing like what they advertised—scam and false marketing at its best.

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Do not stay at this place! It is a part-time hotel—the woman at the front desk used that term. The front desk is only open from 9:00 am to 6:00 pm. It is shut tight otherwise and sometimes more often. I returned at 5:20 pm yesterday and no one was there; reception was locked tight. I lost electricity twice when reception was closed. Had to call an off-time number. No clean towels unless you ask specially and no cleaning of the rooms. And there were tiny ants all over my kitchenette. I wanted to go somewhere at 8:00 am the day I checked out but had to wait until 9:00 am for someone to open reception so I could leave my luggage. Seriously?

Facilities are clean, yet fairly old and the environment is noisy with vehicle and pedestrian movements. One of the windows was loose in its frame resulting in a lot of rattling noise during the night when the wind was blowing strongly. On a positive note, the process for late arrivals was communicated well on time and it was easy to obtain my key and find my room.
